Making cacio e pepe this weekend. Need some advice on cheese to pasta ratio

Looked up numerous recipes and I know this is basically a preference but I'd still like some general rule of thumb but what is suggested for how much cheese to add to the pasta. It seems for a majority of the recipes where a full pound of pasta is being used it's either an equal amount of cheese (2 cups/16oz) or slightly above that (maybe an additional 2 oz)

I'm going to use 12 oz of pasta. Should I use that same amount of pecorino or do a little less or even more? I know that after a certain point you can keep adding pasta water and/or cheese for desired consistency but for this post I'm strictly looking for the best ratio of these ingredients for the primary mixing.



bon appetit
