From the Old Spaghetti Factory

This is many people's favorite dish served by The Old Spaghetti Factory chain, like the one in Trolley Square in Salt Lake City, or in the University Mall in Provo.

About this dish, their menu says, "Legend has it that Homer lived on this toothsome treat for cheese lovers while composing the Iliad."

It is served topped with shredded Mizithra cheese (a Greek hard cheese). Locally, Lin's carries it. It's delicious -- and a little goes a long way!. If mizithra is not available, a blend of ricotta salata or kasseri, with romano -- or even just parmesan -- is suggested.



    1 cup Salted Butter
    1 cup Mizithra Cheese
    Spaghetti, Angel Hair or pasta of choice

Browned Butter: Cut 2 sticks of butter into 8 pieces and place in a 2-quart sauce pan. Place the pan of butter on a burner on medium heat. Bring butter to a slow boil (about 5 minutes).

Once the butter begins to boil, stir constantly to prevent residue from sticking to the bottom of the pan. As the butter cooks, it will start to foam and rise (about 5 minutes). Continue stirring, to avoid overflowing.

Once the butter stops foaming and rising, cook until amber in color (perhaps 1 to 2 minutes more). It will have a pleasant caramel aroma.

Remove from heat. (The brown butter can be stored in the refrigerator and reheated in a microwave as needed.)

Boil the pasta of choice until Al Dente. Drain pasta and divide into servings. Spread 1/4 cup of Mizithra over each pasta serving. Top with 1/4 cup of hot brown butter.

Enjoy!
