Ingredients

  • 1 cup butter
  • 1 (16-ounce) package spaghetti, cooked
  • 6 ounces salt dried mizithra cheese, finely grated, divided, can substitute feta or Italian ricotta salata

Step 4 -Discard the butter sediment.

Step 5 -Add the pasta to the brown butter and toss to coat.

Step 6 -Reserve 1/2 cup of the grated cheese.

Step 7 -Add the remaining grated cheese to the butter-coated pasta, stirring to coat.
