Prepare a pan where season the pasta and put in the oil and a generous grinding of pepper.

Boil pasta in salted water; just before draining, add a ladle of cooking water into the bowl with the cheese, a little at a time, stirring with a fork until you get a thick cream.

Turn the heat under the pan and drain the pasta; put it in the pan and add the cream cheese; mix thoroughly.

Place on plates, sprinkle with the cheese kept aside, a good grinding of pepper and serve immediately.
