I’m trying to get better at making it but my cheese always fucking does that am I cooking it too high?

Add cheese, pepper and pasta water in a blender
Blend until consistency makes you happy
And that’s how you get literally the perfect result every single time
Works with carbonara too and with any sauce that requires emulsification

Cook your pasta in less water than usual, then when there’s still 5 minutes before it’s ready, remove all the water and keep it apart. Keep cooking the pasta like you would do with a risotto (so, turn the flame to the max, add some of the cooking water, stir till it evaporates, add water and stir again etc till the pasta is cooked and the starch creates a nice cream). This technique is called pasta risottata.
The starch will prevent the pecorino from clumping and create a nice base for your cacio e pepe, so turn off the heat, add the pecorino and stir again till it’s well amalgamated.
And that’s it, you have a perfect cacio e pepe that can’t go wrong.
