100% Italian bronze-drawn pasta with Pecorino Romano DOP

I finally visited a small local producer in my region who, through their tradition, allowed me to replicate this. Here's an example (simply illustrative) of how they serve the pasta, wrapped in a 24-month-aged Pecorino cheese. What about you, Have you ever tried it.

Recipe: Creamy Spaghetti mantecati in a Pecorino Wheel

​"Since many of you asked, here is how this magic happens. The secret is the quality of the cheese and the temperature control."

​Ingredients:

​Pasta: 400g of high-quality Spaghetti (Gragnano or artisanal).

​Cheese: A whole wheel of aged Pecorino (or a very large chunk if you are doing this at home).

​Condiment: Guanciale (cured pork cheek) or simple high-quality Black Pepper.

​Liquid Gold: Starchy pasta water.

​Instructions:

​The Base: Boil the spaghetti in salted water. Take them out 2 minutes before they are "Al Dente". This is crucial because they will finish cooking inside the cheese.

​The Prep: While the pasta boils, scrape the inside of the Pecorino wheel with a spoon to create some "cheese dust". If you have a small piece, grate it finely into a bowl.

​The Emulsion: Add a ladle of boiling pasta water into the cheese. Mix it until it starts forming a thick, pale cream.

​The Mantecatura: Toss the hot spaghetti directly into the wheel. The residual heat will melt the cheese further.

​The Secret: Keep stirring vigorously (as you see in the video). Add more pasta water if it gets too dry. The starch in the water and the fat in the cheese will create that glossy, velvet-like sauce.

​Serving: Serve immediately with a generous crack of fresh black pepper on top.

​"Note: Doing this inside the wheel adds a unique depth of flavor because the hot pasta 'extracts' the oils from the aged rind. Pure bliss!"
