Excellent! The only change I would suggest is to cook the butter until a caramel brown, let sit up to 4 mins to let separation occur, and strain the butter through a strainer lined with a paper towel for perfect browned butter.

This is one of my all time favorites. I've made it many, many times, tried some variations but always coming back to this basic recipe as the best. One version we do use on occasion which is useful if you cannot find mizithra cheese is to substitute half and half of parmessan and kassari. It isn't the same, but is quite good on its own. A cheese owner suggested this many years ago when it was very hard to find mizithra. My local supermarket now carries it regularly so it is no longer a problem.

Boo hoo, our San Diego Spaghetti factory closed last year....glad for the recipe! Mzithra cheese is fairly easy to find if you look in stores that have a good deli/cheese department. Got mine at the local natural foods store.

Pretty good...I think I got the proportions wrong, though, and I ended up using too much butter. But other than that, it was fast and easy, and tasted good.

I've been making this for a couple years now, since I first had it at the Old Spaghetti Factory here in Phoenix. It's by far my favorite pasta. After experimenting and learning how to properly brown the butter, it now tastes just like the restaurant's.

We've been making this for years - ever since I found mizithra cheese at the grocery store. Being fans of Spaghetti Factory, we couldn't resist trying it at home. It is salty and buttery but you can adjust the amount of cheese and butter. I bought one of those parmesan cheese graters like they use in restaurants and everyone puts on as much cheese as they want. This is one of our staples.

I'm going to make this tonight for Valentine's Day. Trader Joes sells the Mizthra cheese in plastic tubs and it's pretty inexpensive.

This is the famous dish which legend tells us was eaten by Homer while writing his epics. Mizithra cheese is a Greek cheese made from goats milk and is semi-hard. It can be difficult to find and many cheese purveyors will not be familiar with it. Find a local Greek store and they can get it, normally at a very affordable price. Note the recipe says to add the cheese to taste. The recipe is very versatile, add saute'd mushrooms or substitute olive oil for very simple changes. Excellent as a side dish or light meal. Much better than those noodle dishes in a bag available at the supermarket.

We are also fans of the Spaghetti Factory in San Diego. This recipe is wonderful and simple to make. I serve this with baguette sliced in bite-sized pieces with olive oil, crush clove of garlic and more of the grated myzithra cheese for dipping.
