Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Once boiling, add 1 tablespoon of salt to heavily salt the water.

Add the Bucatini pasta to the water and cook, stirring occasionally, until about 1 minute shy of al dente.

Drain the pasta, reserving about 3 cups of the pasta water.

In a large skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium to medium-low heat.

Add the freshly cracked black pepper to the melted butter and stir, continuing to cook until the butter starts to foam.

Continue cooking for another minute or two, until the butter turns a light amber color.

Stir in 1 cup of the reserved pasta water and bring to a simmer.

Slowly stir in 1 cup of finely grated Parmigiano Reggiano, stirring constantly to ensure the sauce stays smooth.

Using kitchen tongs, add the cooked Bucatini pasta to the sauce, tossing to coat evenly.
