BROWN BUTTER SPAGHETTI WITH GREEK (MIZITHRA) CHEESE

Steps:

• Cook spaghetti until al dente.
• Drain spaghetti and leave in colander or drainer.
• 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.
• Stirring constantly, cook butter until it's a nice, light to medium brown.
• Remove pan from heat.
• Quickly return spaghetti to pan, turning to coat the strands with the butter; the spaghetti should glisten with the light coating of butter.
• At this point, you can add a bit more butter if you like.
• Once butter coats spaghetti, add cheese and mix well, so that bits of the mizithra are sticking to the spaghetti evenly.
• Grind a bit of pepper over the dish and mix again.
