Grate your cheese and grind your pepper. Hold in separate bowls.
Boil water with at least 3 tbsp of salt added to the water.
When the water has reached a roiling boil, add spaghetti and cook to just before al dente. Right before the spaghetti reaches al dente, scoop 1.5 cups of the pasta water out and set aside. You will need it later.
In a large pan, heat the butter or oil. Toast the black pepper for 1-2 minutes. Be careful not to burn.
Strain the pasta and hold to the side. Add the reserved pasta water to the pan with the pepper. Add the pasta and simmer until al dente.
Remove from the heat and stir in the cheese until creamy. Serve hot.
