Butternut Squash Cacio e Pepe

Cacio e pepe is practically synonymous with Pecorino Romano -- but Pecorino clumps when cooked. Add it at the end, instead, which also makes the most of its sharp flavor. Lemon adds spunk -- that is, acidity and freshness.

Bring a large pot of water to a boil, seasoned with 2 tsp of sea salt. Add the pasta and stir occasionally, cooking until the pasta is al dente.

In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups of the grated pecorino romano cheese, 2 tsp of black pepper, and 1/3 cup of the pasta cooking water. Mix vigorously with a spoon to form a paste.

Using a slotted spoon or tongs, quickly transfer the al dente pasta from the pot to the mixing bowl containing the cheese paste.

Toss the pasta until it is well-coated with a creamy cheese sauce. Add additional pasta water, 1 tbsp at a time, if necessary to achieve the desired consistency.

Serve immediately, topping each portion with an extra sprinkle of the remaining 1/4 cup pecorino romano cheese and additional freshly cracked black pepper to taste.
