Ingredients:

Serving

1/2 cup grated mizithra cheese
8 oz spaghetti
4 tbsp butter ( do not substitute margarine , or to taste)
2 tsp minced garlic (optional)
2 tsp oregano (optional)
fresh ground black pepper , to taste

Directions:

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.
Serve with extra mizithra and pepper.
