Pasta with Browned Butter and Mizithra
Check out this beautiful plate of pasta! The combination of browned butter and Mizithra cheese creates a rich flavor that you simply can’t resist.
Ingredients:
- 12 oz spaghetti or your favorite pasta
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup grated Mizithra cheese (or any hard cheese you prefer)
- Salt, to taste
- Freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
- Chopped fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add your spaghetti and cook according to the package directions until al dente. When ready, reserve about 1 cup of pasta water and then drain the rest. Set aside.
- While the pasta cooks, melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Keep an eye on it! We want it to brown, not burn. Cook the butter until it turns a lovely golden brown and gives off a nutty aroma, about 3-5 minutes.
- Once the butter is browned, add in the cooked pasta right into the skillet. Toss it well to coat the pasta in that gorgeous brown butter. If it seems dry, add a little of the reserved pasta water to reach your desired consistency.
- Spoon in the Mizithra cheese, stirring to combine everything beautifully. Season to taste with salt and pepper. You can add more cheese if you want that extra richness!
- Plate it up, sprinkle with some chopped parsley for a pop of color, and grab a fork. You’re ready to dig into this delightful dish!
And there you have it! A stunning and flavorful Pasta with Browned Butter and Mizithra that took just 15 minutes to make. Perfect for sharing with family or just treating yourself after a long day. Enjoy every bite!
