Pasta alla Ruota with Bucatini using a Pecorino Cheese Wheel Nugget Markets signature recipes

For dinner and a show, prepare your pasta in a cheese wheel! The cheese melts onto the hot noodles to create a simply delicious sauce that's sure to impress.

Ingredients

  • 1 wheel of Pecorino Toscano
  • 1 tablespoon cracked black pepper
  • 6 ounces dry bucatini pasta
  • Kosher salt, to taste

Preparation

Cut the Pecorino Toscano wheel to create a bowl in the top, then scrape the inside of the bowl shape to create cheese shavings.

Bring salted water to a rapid boil in a large pot, then add the pasta and cook until al dente, 8–11 minutes.

Place the hot pasta in the scraped cheese wheel and stir until the cheese is creamy and melted onto the pasta. Add black pepper and serve immediately garnished with cheese shavings, if desired.
