BROWN BUTTER SPAGHETTI WITH GREEK (MIZITHRA) CHEESE

Brown Butter Spaghetti With Greek (Mizithra) Cheese image

I remember this as being the de facto side dish, with a salad, to any lamb dish I had growing up, in my Greek grandparents' house. I make it quite often, and have never had a recipe, so beware, the measurements may be a bit off. I sometimes don't add the garlic and oregano, but they do add a nice zing to the dish.

Time 25m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

1/2 cup grated mizithra cheese
8 ounces spaghetti
4 tablespoons butter (do not substitute margarine, or to taste)
2 teaspoons minced garlic (optional)
2 teaspoons oregano (optional)
fresh ground black pepper, to taste

Steps:

Cook spaghetti until al dente.
Drain spaghetti and leave in colander or drainer.
Put butter (and garlic and oregano, if using) into hot pan and put it back on the burner, making sure heat is medium to medium-high.
Stirring constantly, cook butter until it's a nice, light to medium brown.
Remove pan from heat.
Quickly return spaghetti to pan, turning to coat the strands with the butter; the spaghetti should glisten with the light coating of butter.
At this point, you can add a bit more butter if you like.
Once butter coats spaghetti, add cheese and mix well, so that bits of the mizithra are sticking to the spaghetti evenly.
Grind a bit of pepper over the dish and mix again.
Serve with extra mizithra and pepper.

2021-12-24 On the menu was an Italian American hit list: spaghetti with marinara, meat sauce, mushroom sauce, and clam sauce. It was the first place I ever tasted chicken Marsala. But the one dish that stole my heart, the one I ordered time and time again, was the spaghetti with Mizithra cheese and browned butter.
