Ingredients
- 12 ounces Spaghetti
- 8 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Mizithra cheese (grated)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, chopped for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
1. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add 1 teaspoon of salt to the water and cook the spaghetti according to the package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water, drain the rest, and set the pasta aside.
Step 2
2. In a medium-sized saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Swirl the pan occasionally and cook until the butter foams, turns golden brown, and emits a nutty aroma. This should take about 5-7 minutes. Watch closely to prevent burning.
Step 3
3. Once the butter is browned, remove it from the heat immediately to halt the cooking process.
Step 4
4. Toss the cooked spaghetti with the browned butter in the saucepan. Add a splash of the reserved pasta water if the mixture seems dry, stirring to coat the pasta evenly.
Step 5
5. Sprinkle the grated Mizithra cheese over the pasta and toss again until well combined.
Step 6
6. Plate the pasta and garnish with fresh chopped parsley if desired.
Step 7
7. Serve immediately and enjoy this deliciously simple dish!
