Table Talk Mizithra Cheese And Browned Butter Copycat Recipes

OLD SPAGHETTI FACTORY BROWNED BUTTER AND MIZITHRA CHEESE RECIPE

Steps:

• Cook angel hair pasta according to directions on the package. When finished, drain but do not rinse the pasta. Place drained pasta in a large mixing bowl.
• While pasta is cooking, roughly cube butter and place it in a small saucepan over medium heat. Let the butter melt and begin to bubble. To ensure the butter is cooking evenly, rotate the pan or tilt slightly to swirl the butter around. Do not stir.
• After a few minutes, bubbles will begin to fade and butter will start to change color. Watch closely at this point as butter browns quickly from here. Brown butter is done when it is dark golden in color and smells nutty. Remove from heat immediately.
• Pour hot brown butter over the top of the drained pasta. Use tongs to toss the pasta in butter.
• Add both kinds of grated cheese and one or two tablespoons of parsley. Toss again until pasta is well coated in cheese and herbs.
• Serve immediately, garnishing with leftover parsley.
