This pasta is so easy, the hardest part was grinding the peppercorns. Even though I love my cute little bunny pepper grinder, it probably was not the best choice for grinding 2 tablespoons of peppercorns. But that is all I have for grinding peppercorns, maybe it is time to invest in a better grinder.
Even though this pasta is super easy and only has three ingredients, it does not lack flavor. You can taste the cheese and the bits of peppercorn in every bite.
