Recipe View 10 mins Remove from heat and sprinkle generously with grated Mizithra cheese. Toss again to combine, ensuring the cheese is evenly distributed. Serve immediately.

For an even richer flavor, try using browned butter that has been refrigerated and then gently reheated before adding the pasta.
Freshly grated Mizithra cheese is key to achieving the best texture and flavor. Pre-shredded cheese often contains cellulose, which can prevent it from melting properly.
A squeeze of fresh lemon juice can brighten the flavors of this dish.

    The browned butter part is a little tricky. Pay close attention and don't let it burn! The result is definitely worth it.

    I was hesitant to try this because I'd never had Mizithra cheese before, but I'm so glad I did! It's now a family favorite.

    This recipe is amazing! The browned butter is so fragrant, and the Mizithra cheese adds the perfect salty kick.
