Ingredients

  • 1 pound whole-grain (or whole-wheat) spaghetti
  • 2 tablespoons mixed colored peppercorns, coarsely ground
  • 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 1/2 cups grated (6 ounces) pecorino
  • 6 ounces thinly sliced prosciutto, chopped
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil leaves

Directions

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the pasta and cook until tender but still firm to the bite, stirring occasionally, about 8 to 10 minutes.

While the pasta is cooking: Heat a small, heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat. Add the peppercorns and toast for about 20 to 30 seconds. Add the oil and cook for 1 minute. Remove the pan from the heat.

Drain the pasta reserving about 1/2 cup of the pasta water. Transfer the spaghetti to a large serving bowl. Add 1 cup of the pecorino and toss to combine, gradually adding reserved pasta water, if needed, to loosen up the pasta. Add the oil mixture, prosciutto, 2 tablespoons of parsley, and 2 tablespoons of basil. Toss well to combine all ingredients.

Garnish with the remaining pecorino, parsley, and basil.

    I really really really love this recipe! I agree with the other reviewers about the pepper. Definitely cut down the pepper by half to 1 tablespoon (maybe even a little less. Don't toss all the pasta water either. I would keep more than a cup because the pasta soaks up the water so quickly. It's a keeper! I'm making this recipe a regular!

    This is really tasty yet simple. I love prosciutto! I brought leftovers to lunch the next day and all my coworkers said, "It smells so good!".

    This recipe is simple yet very tastey. I'm a huge fan of pepper, but it was still a bit strong for me. Next time I make it I will try just 1 tablespoon of peppercorns. It is also very healthy so all-in-all a great meal.
