Ingredients

• 8 ounces spaghetti
• ¼ cup plus 1 tablespoon butter (I use grass-fed)
• 1 loose cup freshly and finely grated mizithra cheese*
• salt (optional)*

Directions

• Cook spaghetti to package directions and drain. (Time-saver tip: grate the mizithra while waiting on the pasta to cook).
• Leave the pasta in the colander and return the pot to the stove.
• Melt the butter over medium heat, shaking the pan every so often as the butter continues to cook.
• Once the butter reaches a golden/medium-brown color, remove from heat.
• Add the pasta to the pot and toss to coat with the butter. Alternately, you can add the pasta to a serving dish and add the butter to it there. Just be sure to grab a rubber spatula to get all that butter!
• Add most of the cheese and toss to coat, reserving a small amount to top each plate with.
• Enjoy!
