I live in the Bay Area in California and Mizithra was difficult for me to find. Our local Trader Joe's did not sell it but just a few weeks ago I found it at our local Safeway grated in a 4oz tub. Hope that helps those looking for it.

Absolutley love this!! It is so easy to make and quick. I must agree with the the others, you must use "butter". I used the unsalted butter and it was delicious! However, the Mizithra was not easy to find but was able to purchase it from OSF.

This is the easiest, quickest meal on this site. I start to brown my butter over a medium to low heat and don't bother skimming the solids off the top. If you let it go long enough, those milk solids are what the little browned bits are, but you have to be careful to do it over a slow enough heat. It's a fine line. I do use whole grain spaghetti with about 1/4 C of the pasta water reserved. After draining, I replace the water to offer a little creaminess to the pasta, toss with the hot browned butter and mix thoroughly with a small handful of the cheese to mix throughout. Put it all in a serving dish and top with the remaining cheese and chopped parsley. So simple and so good.

We came across this recipe by word of mouth several years ago and make it at least monthly. Doesn't really work with margarine but will do in a pinch if you don't have real butter. Definately need to carmelize the butter then basically sautee the pasta in the butter a few minutes before plating.

This is my favorite dish ever, love it at OSF and love at home even better. I have to admit it is not easy finding the Mizithra cheese, however you can buy it at the OSF website and resturants. Must get the butter perfect if you burn it tastes really bad. We always add just a little bit of tomato sauce on ours.

Very tasty! If you use salted butter, most of the salt is taken out with the solids, so the mizithra cheese isn't overpowering.

Long time fan of this recipe. I agree with other reviews; it important to get the butter right. Excellent meal for picky kids. We have 5 teenagers (which means lots of extra kids) and have yet to find a kid around that wont eat it! Winco carries Mizithra cheese.

I made this twice, two nights in a row. The first I followed exactly but had to use Feta because I didn't want to go to the store-it was fantastic! The second night, while the butter was browning I tossed in a peeled garlic clove then removed before serving. I also stirred in some chopped lobster meat and used the Mizithra cheese. The garlic added a nice layer of flavor without being over powering! Honestly there isn't much of a difference in my opinion between the Mizithra and Feta-only that the feta melts a bit so if you can't find mizithra just get a block of good feta.
