Extremely simple and extremely satisfying, make this pasta for a quick, yet thoughtful, dinner. The ingredients are simple, but the flavor is powerful. For the best results, use large cracks of fresh pepper; the astringency of the garlic and strong pepper complement the fat content in the oil and cheese nicely. Be sure to check out The Daily Meal's Video page for the how-to video.
