I make this with pine nuts and green peas, I also brown garlic in the butter before adding the other ingredients. Then add some oregano and black pepper. YUM!!!

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!!

This is delicious, albeit unbelievably unhealthy. I use a one to one ratio of butter to cheese. The longer you brown the butter, the richer and nuttier the flavor. It is best to pour the butter through a fine mesh sieve after cooking. This is so popular at Old Spaghetti Factory restaurants that many sell the Mizithra cheese to their customers. Otherwise, look at specialty/international markets or upscale groceries.

This is my favorite indulgent dish! I find the straight mizithra a little salty for me, so I usually do half mizithra and half parmesan (it also helps make the mizithra last longer, since it can be expensive and hard to find). It tastes just as good, in my opinion.

My family are big fans of this recipe. We always ordered it @ the Old Spaghetti Factory growing up. It's great to make it @ home as a treat w/much finer grated mizithra!

The hubby and I had a craving for Mizithra Pasta but were too lazy to go to Spaghetti Factory and wait in the long line on a Friday night. We picked up the ingredients and it turned out PERFECT! Thanks for posting this recipe. Going right into the all time favorites!

I love this recipe! My family tried to make it a few times after trying it at the Spaghetti Factory, but we could never get it right. The trick is the browned butter. Now we make it for all family get togethers. I make it with 1/2 the butter and it's still sinfully delicious.

Ick. I don't know if it was the taste of the butter, or the cheese, but I didn't like it. I'll have to go longing for the stuff from Spaghetti Factory.

One of our all time favs! So easy and I'm never NOT in the mood for it. The browner the butter the better otherwise it doesn't caramelize and add the sweet to the salty of the cheese. I read a lot of reviewers saying they had a difficult time finding it, I have only found it in smaller grocery stores that are more "health-food" related. (Sprouts, Henry's, Trader Joe's.) I have also found it at Culbertson's but only the pre-grated cheese and it isn't nearly as flavorful as the need-to-grate kind. Enjoy!!

This is one of those once a year meals because of the calories, but it's highly worth it. I think this is even better than the Old Spaghetti Factory because you can adjust the recipe to fit your tastes.
