Bigoli with cheese and pepper and raw ham and truffle

Procedure

While our spaghetti cooks in plenty of water WITHOUT SALT!

STEP 2

We cut the prosciutto into strips, let it sweat in a non-stick pan over low heat, it just needs to wilt otherwise it becomes salty.

STEP 3

In a small bowl, place the pecorino cheese, add a pinch of pepper, a few tablespoons of the cooking water (the cream should be nice and thick; the ratio is about two tablespoons of pecorino cheese to one tablespoon of water), and mix until you have a creamy sauce.

STEP 4

Once the pasta is cooked, set aside a cup of the cooking water, add the bigoli to the pan with the ham, and let them absorb the flavors. Then add the cream and a tablespoon of the reserved cooking water.

STEP 5

We continue until the pasta is nice and creamy, add plenty of pepper and off we go!
