Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the pasta until al dente. When it is cooked, reserve a quarter cup of the pasta water, and then drain the pasta and set aside.
Heat a large skillet with olive oil, add the cracked pepper and gently saute for a few minutes. Add the cooked pasta and toss with tongs to coat with the olive oil and pepper. Add the grated cheese and continue swirling the pasta to coat with the cheese. Add a tablespoon or two of the reserved hot pasta water and continue to coat the pasta. Serve immediately. Enjoy!
