simplicity at its best! I melted the butter, clarified it, and then browned it. I couldn't find mizithra anywhere so I used Dubliner instead and it was just as tasty! Next time I will add some fresh garlic to the cooling butter for more pizzaz. I took some broccoli spears and added the butter solids, fresh garlic, pepper, wine and better than bullion over medium heat. The broccoli was an excellent side dish and none of the butter went to waste. Even the pickiest eaters ate both dishes!!!

Love it! Have always been a fan of the Spaghetti Factories Mizithra and browned butter spaghetti. This tastes pretty much exactly like it and is super easy. Scrumptious!

So simple and delicious! But do be sure the brown the butter (to a nut brown color). I do this at a low boil - it's worth the time! It completely changes the taste of the butter which is what makes this recipe AMAZING. Watch the butter closely though so it doesn't burn.

Wonderful easy pasta sauce. I didn't have the cheese, but I used half parmesean and half ricotta salada.

This was spectacular! I made it for a large group. I also made a red sauce and meatballs. The Mizithra browned butter pasta was the shining star. It got rave reviews. I increased the recipe to accomadate more people. Thankfully, I have alot left. Safeway carries mizithra so it's easy to find. Thanks for the recipe and to the reviewers on browning the butter.

This is one of those dishes my kids ask for every holiday. And weekday, and weekend :-) The way my Greek mother taught me- sprinkle the serving dish with grated cheese, layer on a third of the pasta, sprinkle with cheese, layer 1/3 pasta, sprinkle more cheese, layer rest of pasta, sprinkle with cheese. In a fry pan, heat butter until slightly browned Pour over the very hot browned butter over the pasta and cheese

You forgot the garlic! I mince a clove or two and add to the browned butter. I also add some chopped parsley and the pine nuts would be a great addition. A small amount of Parmesan cheese (freshly grated) would be a nice addition too.

This dish is going to look really plain, so I suggest adding in some black pepper at the end, toss it a few more times, and serve. Black and white looks real classy, to boot.

We absolutely loved this! First time I've browned butter-couldn't be easier. Just like the dish I used to adore at the Spaghetti Factory. I did add some minced onion, garlic and a few baby bella sliced mushrooms to sweat and soften after the butter had browned. Poured sauce over cooked fettucini and then tossed in the mizithra. Didn't add any salt as the cheese is very salty. YUM!!

I worked at Spag, and this was my favorite dish. Actually the cheese they use isn't really Mizithra... It's half Romano and half Ricotta Salata. ( Which is probably harder to find than Mizithra...)

I used whole wheat spaghetti and it was still amazing! I would have used regular spaghetti if I had had any, and that is what I'll use next time. This tastes exactly like the mizithra cheese pasta at Old Spaghetti Factory! I let the butter cook the entire time the pasta was cooking to get a nice rich color, and I strained it through a paper towel. Worked wonderfully and tasted awesome!

OMG! This dish is so good! I am Greek and grew up eatting my pasta with grated myzithra. I food shop at a huge Greek supermarket in NY so finding it was no problem at all, You have to make sure the butter is a rich caramel color before you add it to the pasta. It makes a difference. Myzithra is very salty but it balances out very well with the sweetness of the butter. I would give it 10 stars if I could! Great recipe!!!

I can't help but order this when I go to The Spaghetti Factory. It's wonderful! I'll be making this tonight for dinner. I had no trouble finding the cheese but only under the alternate spelling, Myzithra, at Von's, Save Mart and Winco. For the pasta I'll use a Whole Wheat High Fiber spaghetti...have to try to counteract all that fat of the cheese and butter. HA!! Thanks for adding this recipe!!
