Method

Cooking the Pasta

  1. 1

    Boil Water

    In a large pot, bring water to a boil and add salt.

  2. 2

Making the Sauce

  1. 3

    Brown the Butter

    In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter. Continue cooking until the butter turns a golden brown color and has a nutty aroma, about 5-7 minutes.

    Add the cooked spaghetti to the skillet with the browned butter. Toss to coat, adding reserved pasta water as needed for consistency. Sprinkle with Mizithra cheese and black pepper before serving.
