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.
