This reminds me of something that I have had at a resteraunt here in Atlanta. The place is the Spaghetti Factory and my fave there is spaghetti with browned butter and mizithra cheese. IT IS TO DIE FOR!!! (pardon my cyber yelling).
I wish I could find that cheese somewhere to buy because it is amazing!!
:)
I did happen to find a recipe for it though....they say if you can't find the cheese you can use ricotta and romano cheese for a close substitute.
[b]Spaghetti with Browned Butter and Mizithra Cheese [/b]
6 ounces Spaghetti
4 tablespoons Butter
1/2 cup Mizithra cheese shredded
Instructions for Spaghetti with Browned Butter and Mizithra Cheese
Cook pasta in salted water according to package directions.
While the spaghetti is cooking, heat the butter over medium heat; the butter will froth a bit, and then start to turn a nice golden brown. Let the butter cook until it is a light caramel color. Set aside.
Drain the pasta.
Carefully pour off the butter into a small dish, being careful to leave behind the solids that have settled to the bottom of the pan.
Mix the butter, spaghetti, and most of the cheese (save some to sprinkle on top).
Garnish with remaining cheese.
simple and delicious! i used to put so much parmesan cheese on my pasta that it coated the noodles and became all i could taste. fortunately, i now appreciate flavors other than parmesan cheese and i think sage would be an awesome addition!
