RE: Myzithra Browned Butter Pasta

[joe2]

 
As you all can probably tell from my other messages on the board...I like to eat better camping than I would at home.  We make comefort food when we are roughing it []
 This is super satisfying but needs to have some side dishes with it so it does not over power you!
 
 Serves : 4
 Prep. Time : 15-20 min
 1 pound spaghetti (pasta)
 1 cup butter
 3/4 pound myzithra cheese (will also work with Parmesan cheese)
 
 Directions
 -Cook pasta in large pot of salted, boiling water until al dente (al dente means pasta is done yet firm) then drain.
 
 -When pasta is almost done, start slowly melting butter over medium heat until golden-light-brown. Skim butter solids off top...
 **MAKE SURE to keep an eye on the butter and as it cooks it will start to brown lightly and it is ready!**
 
 -Toss pasta with butter. Sprinkle with cheese to taste. (You can also substitute parmesan cheese or mix half and half)
 
 Serve with A fresh Salad and French Bread or Garlic Bread and enjoy!

 What is myzithra cheese?  I am a cheese lover, but this one is new to me.

myzithra is a hard Greek cheese for grating.  it has a milder taste than parmesan.  and it is awesome on pasta! it can also be soft for slicing.
 
 you can also brown it in olive oil.
