Ingredients

1 tablespoon Salt
16 ounces Bucatini Pasta
3 tablespoons Olive Oil
dash of Garlic Powder
1 tablespoon Black Pepper, freshly ground (more if you'd like)
1/2 cup Pasta Water
5 ounces Grated Parmesan Cheese

Directions

In a large pot, salt water for pasta (at least 1 tablespoon). Cook according to package for about 8-10 minutes until al dente. Before straining bucatini, reserve at least 1/2 cup of pasta water. Strain pasta.
In the same pot add olive oil, dash of garlic powder, and freshly ground black pepper. You will want at least 1 tablespoon of freshly cracked black pepper; however, if you want more feel free to pepper it up! Cook the mixture for one minute on medium heat.
Add pasta back to the pot along with the half-cup of water. Mix well then begin to add the Parmesan cheese. Reserve a few tablespoons of cheese for topping.
Divide pasta in four large bowls and top with additional Parmesan cheese and black pepper. Buon appetite!
