    Summary

    Cooking Channel serves up this Whole-Grain Spaghetti with Pecorino, Prosciutto and Pepper (Fall) recipe from Giada De Laurentiis plus many other recipes at CookingChannelTV.com

    Ingredients

    1 pound whole-grain (or whole-wheat) spaghetti

    2 tablespoons mixed colored peppercorns, coarsely ground

    1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil

    1 1/2 cups grated (6 ounces) pecorino

    6 ounces thinly sliced prosciutto, chopped

    1/4 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

    1/4 cup chopped fresh basil leaves

    Instructions

    Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the pasta and cook until tender but still firm to the bite, stirring occasionally, about 8 to 10 minutes.
    While the pasta is cooking: Heat a small, heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat. Add the peppercorns and toast for about 20 to 30 seconds. Add the oil and cook for 1 minute. Remove the pan from the heat.
    Drain the pasta reserving about 1/2 cup of the pasta water. Transfer the spaghetti to a large serving bowl. Add 1 cup of the pecorino and toss to combine, gradually adding reserved pasta water, if needed, to loosen up the pasta. Add the oil mixture, prosciutto, 2 tablespoons of parsley, and 2 tablespoons of basil. Toss well to combine all ingredients.
    Garnish with the remaining pecorino, parsley, and basil.
