BROWN BUTTER SPAGHETTI WITH GREEK (MIZITHRA) CHEESE
I remember this as being the de facto side dish, with a salad, to any lamb dish I had growing up, in my Greek grandparents' house. I make it quite often, and have never had a recipe, so beware, the measurements may be a bit off. I sometimes don't add the garlic and oregano, but they do add a nice zing to the dish.

Steps:
- Cook spaghetti until al dente.
- Drain spaghetti and leave in colander or drainer.
- Put butter (and garlic and oregano, if using) into hot pan and put it back on the burner, making sure heat is medium to medium-high.
- Stirring constantly, cook butter until it's a nice, light to medium brown.
- Remove pan from heat.
- Quickly return spaghetti to pan, turning to coat the strands with the butter; the spaghetti should glisten with the light coating of butter.
- At this point, you can add a bit more butter if you like.
- Once butter coats spaghetti, add cheese and mix well, so that bits of the mizithra are sticking to the spaghetti evenly.
- Grind a bit of pepper over the dish and mix again.
- Serve with extra mizithra and pepper.

[email protected]This recipe is a keeper! The brown butter adds a nutty flavor to the spaghetti, and the Greek mizithra cheese is a delicious and tangy addition. I also love the addition of lemon zest and red pepper flakes. It really brightens up the dish.
