In just 15 minutes, you'll find yourself with a bowl of buttery, rich, tender noodles with a sprinkling of extra-tangy mizithra cheese (or feta!).

Ingredients

  • 1 cup butter
  • 1 (16-ounce) package spaghetti, cooked
  • 6 ounces salt dried mizithra cheese, finely grated, divided, can substitute feta or Italian ricotta salata
  • fresh basil, optional, to taste, sliced, for garnish

Directions

Step 1 -In a small saucepan over medium heat, add the butter and slowly melt it, while stirring, until it is golden-brown, about 4 minutes.

Step 2 -Transfer the melted brown butter to a tempered glass bowl or a measuring cup and allow the sediment to settle at the bottom, about 2 minutes.

Step 3 -Pour the sediment-free brown butter into a separate bowl, making sure to reserve the sediment in the glass bowl or measuring cup.

Step 4 -Discard the butter sediment.

Step 5 -Add the pasta to the brown butter and toss to coat.

Step 6 -Reserve 1/2 cup of the grated cheese.

Step 7 -Add the remaining grated cheese to the butter-coated pasta, stirring to coat.

Step 8 -Sprinkle the pasta with the remaining cheese.

Step 9 -Serve garnished with the basil.
