Brown Butter Spaghetti With Greek (Mizithra) Cheese

1. 1

   Cook spaghetti until al dente.

2. 2

   Drain spaghetti and leave in colander or drainer.

3. 3

   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.

4. 4

   Stirring constantly, cook butter until it's a nice, light to medium brown.

5. 5

   Remove pan from heat.

6. 6

   Quickly return spaghetti to pan, turning to coat the strands with the butter; the spaghetti should glisten with the light coating of butter.

7. 7

   At this point, you can add a bit more butter if you like.

8. 8

   Once butter coats spaghetti, add cheese and mix well, so that bits of the mizithra are sticking to the spaghetti evenly.

9. 9

   Grind a bit of pepper over the dish and mix again.

10. 10

    Serve with extra mizithra and pepper.
