Method

Cooking Pasta

  1. 1

    Cook the Pasta

    Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Making Browned Butter

  1. 2

    Brown the Butter

    In a large skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Continue to cook the butter, stirring frequently, until it turns golden brown and develops a nutty aroma, about 5-7 minutes.

Combining Ingredients

  1. 3

    Mix Together

    Add the drained pasta directly to the skillet with the browned butter. Toss to coat the pasta evenly. Sprinkle Mizithra cheese over the pasta and mix well. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Serving

  1. 4

    Serve

    Serve immediately, garnished with additional Mizithra cheese if desired.
