To make the Parmesan frico bowl: 1 1/2 c. shredded Parmesan cheese
To make the cheese bowls:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Divide the cheese into 2 portions; form each portion into an even 6-7 inch circle on the parchment paper.
Bake for about 6 minutes, until cheese is melted and golden. Remove from oven; quickly use a spatula to lift each parmesan frico off of the tray. Flip over 2 soup bowls with the bottoms facing up; place each frico over a bowl; gently press around the sides to form bowl-like shapes. Allow to cool.
Make the spaghetti:
Cook spaghetti to al dente in well salted water according to package directions, about 8 minutes. Reserve about 1 c. of the pasta water; drain the remaining water. Transfer the pasta back into the pot; add olive oil, some of the reserved pasta water, half of the cheese and the pepper. Toss the pasta until fully coated.
Serve spaghetti in the parmesan frico bowls. Sprinkle with cheese an pepper.
