Spaghetti and Browned Butter With Mizythra Cheese

Submitted by clashcity19

"This is a wonderful dish that tastes gourmet and is very filling and rich. I figured out this recipe after eating it at a restaurant. It was surprisingly easy to make! Though, I admit, it is not exactly a heart-smart meal."

 

• Ready In: 20mins
• Ingredients: 3
• Serves: 4

ingredients

• 1 1⁄2 cups unsalted butter
• 1 lb spaghetti
• 1⁄2 lb mizithra cheese (can be found at most delis)

directions

1. Directions for browned butter: Melt butter in a small pot while spaghetti is cooking.
2. Cook 3-5 minutes until butter foams and rises. You will see a golden brown color when it is done.
3. Remove from heat immediately and put aside.
4. Grate mizythra cheese and put aside.
5. Drain spaghetti once it is done.
6. Serve spaghetti on plates or in bowls.
7. Add about 1/4 cup of melted browned butter to each serving of spaghetti.
8. Sprinkle with generous serving of mizythra. (warning: mizythra is very rich cheese).
9. Some people like to add a small amount of marinara or meat sauce. Others (such as myself) enjoy it plain.
10. Enjoy!

I have had this in a restaurant and loved it. Looking forward to trying this recipe. The restaurant I had this at also made it with broccolli instead of spaghetti and tastes wonderful/a little better for you if you're watching your calories and splurging at the same time.
