Reserve 1 1/2 cups of the pasta cooking water, then drain the pasta well.

Meanwhile, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Add oil and heat for another minute.

Add garlic and rosemary and cook until the rosemary is fragrant and crispy, 2 to 3 minutes.

Transfer the rosemary to a paper-towel-lined plate to drain.

Continue to cook the garlic until golden brown, about 1 minute.

Using a slotted spoon, remove and discard the garlic.

Continue to toss, adding more pasta water as needed, to create a creamy sauce.

Season with pepper and serve topped with additional cheese, crispy rosemary needles and more pepper, if desired.
