Ingredients

• 12 oz Spaghetti
• 1.5 cups Mizithra cheese, finely grated
• 1 cup Unsalted butter
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add salt and cook the spaghetti according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup of the pasta water, then drain the spaghetti and set aside.

Step 2

While the pasta cooks, prepare the browned butter sauce. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, add the unsalted butter.

Step 3

Let the butter melt completely, then continue cooking, stirring occasionally, as it starts to foam and turn golden brown. The butter is ready when it has a nutty aroma and small browned bits form at the bottom of the pan (about 5–7 minutes). Be careful not to let it burn.

Step 4

Remove the pan from heat immediately and carefully transfer the browned butter to a heatproof bowl to stop the cooking process.

Step 5

In a large bowl or the pot you cooked the pasta in, toss the drained spaghetti with the browned butter until evenly combined. Add a splash of the reserved pasta water if needed to help coat the noodles.

Step 6

Sprinkle the grated Mizithra cheese over the pasta and gently toss until well coated.

Step 7

Divide the pasta among serving plates or bowls. Garnish with chopped parsley, if desired, and serve immediately.
