Trofie with Garlic, Black Pepper, Asiago, Parmesan, and Olive Oil

it's just me tonight so i will do something simple.  it's my own recipe.

Trofie pasta (i used about a 1/2 lb.)
lots of black pepper
kosher salt
1 garlic clove finely chopped or use a garlic smasher or mortar and pestle
1/4 - 1/2 cup or so of  Parmesan and/or  Romano and/or Asiago (total)
1/4 cup olive oil (depending on how much pasta you make)
(you can use a little heavy cream of you like.  i added about 2 - 3 tbsp of heavy cream).

cook the trofie until al dente.  saute the garlic in olive oil.  put in black pepper and asiago and/or parmesan and/or romano.

Note:  this particular pasta goes good with pesto.   i've made it with fresh pesto also.
