Boil pasta in salted water for 9 minutes.  While the pasta is cooking, in a large saucepan melt the butter with 2 tablespoons of water, add the pepper.  When the pasta has boiled for 9 minutes, take 1 1/2 cups of the hot pasta water and add to butter mixture.  Drain pasta and toss in the butter/pepper mixture.  Increase heat and cook the pasta tossing constantly in the butter/pepper mixture until most of the water has evaporated (this will take about 3 minutes).  Remove pasta from the heat and toss with the grated cheese, stir until well combined and all of the cheese has melted.  Serve.
