I have to say, this is one of those "I can throw this together in 10-12 minutes" recipes. Cuz there are three ingredients. And you can do everything in the time it takes to boil the Pasta.
Put Pot of water on stove, Boil.
While water is coming to boil, obliterate the Mizithra Cheese (A creamy, salty delicious sheep's milk cheese) in a food processor until it's fine. (ready grated is available, but I've only seen it a few places.)
Throw 1 pound of Spaghetti noodles or Spagettini(thin spaghetti which I like better than spaghetti) into the pot and cook 10-12 minutes or by the package instructions. *Barilla really is better than the store brand, but the imported macaroni from places like Trader Joe's are less expensive and produce equally good results, (perfectly aldente and separate noodles; no noodle clumps.)
Put 1/2 stick of butter in a small sauce pan or frying pan and heat over med heat until butter solids are golden brown. (I use Tillamook Salted, it has a nice mildly nutty flavor when browned, and when I use other butter*, my husband notices, I'm convinced the solid concentration has something to do with it)
When Pasta is done, drain it and return it to the pot, toss with the browned butter and serve in portions on plates, top with the Mizithra Cheese and a little bit of dried basil for color and "Presto!" A quick dinner that tastes as good as it smells. Add a tossed green salad and you've got a real winner!
* other butters: Kirkland brand non-organic butter from Costco, and generic QFC Butter.
**Margarine doesn't brown and should not be substituted for Butter in this recipe, splurge with the real deal!
