If you’ve ever eaten at the Old Spaghetti Factory, you may have tried their browned butter with mizithra cheese spaghetti. I LOVE it, but I live no where near an Old Spaghetti Factory, SOOOO, I have to make it at home whenever I get the craving. It’s actually super easy to make and kids love it. Win, win, win!
You need 3 ingredients for this dish–spaghetti (prepare spaghetti according to package directions, or make your own pasta to kick things up a notch), butter, and mizithra cheese. I find mizithra cheese at our local Winco grocery store here in Twin Falls, ID, so I’m pretty sure it’s not too hard to find.
1 cube of butter serves about 4 people. Using a medium sauce pan, melt your butter over medium to medium high heat, stirring constantly so your butter doesn’t burn. It will only take a few minutes from the time the butter melts to the time it turns into a caramel brown color. It will also give off a caramel smell. As soon as you reach this point, remove the butter from the heat. I like to strain it to remove the solids that will form.
From here, it’s easy peasy. Put the pasta on a plate and top with butter and grated mizithra cheese. ENJOY!
