Spaghetti Factory's Mizithra Cheese Pasta

Ok here is a GREAT one I think it is even better when you make it fresh than when you get it at Spaghetti Factory.

Ingredients:
  • Butter
  • Mizithra Cheese  (I have been able to find this at Dick's in the specialty cheese bin by the deli)
  • Spaghetti Noodles
  • Meat Sauce (optional)
Directions:
  1. Boil 1-2 sticks of butter depending on how many people you are feeding on medium heat.
  2. Watch the butter very carefully it burns very easily.  Once it boils stir constantly. The butter will start to rise and foam takes about 5 minutes. 
  3. Butter will turn amber color and will get a very sweet smell.  Remove from heat and let sit for a few minutes so that the dark stuff settles to the bottom of the pan.
  4. Then put the butter through a strainer to remove most of the dark residue that is at the bottom of the pan. 
  5. Pour butter on noodles and shred fresh mizithra on top.  Voila you have yummy restaurant quality pasta.
Optional:
I like to do half of the pasta mizithra cheese and half meat sauce.

  2. Yum! What a great idea for a blog! I am always wanting "something different" for dinner, I have like 10 recipes that I make regularly, they get really boring. Most of them are "wing it" recipes, too. Thanks for all the dinner ideas!
