Comments on: Spaghetti with Browned Butter and Mizithra http://www.lifesambrosia.com/2009/12/spaghetti-with-browned-butter-and-mizithra-recip.html Exploring my passion for food and cooking one homemade recipe at a time. Thu, 09 Feb 2012 00:02:44 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: Alice http://www.lifesambrosia.com/2009/12/spaghetti-with-browned-butter-and-mizithra-recip.html#comment-16384 Alice Mon, 18 Oct 2010 13:53:29 +0000 http://www.lifesambrosia.com/?p=3286#comment-16384 I make something similar with butter and a spoonful of Marmite (widely available here in the UK or from british foodstores). They say with Marmite that you "either love it or hate it" but I've never known anybody not love it with pasta - most don't realise that it is marmite being used. The salty flavour with the butter makes it taste almost cheesy, and (aside from spaghetti cooking time) it takes about 2 minutes to make a huge pan-full of it.

I know it sounds strange, but I promise it's super yummy! My grandmother used to make this, but she would also add ground cinnamon to it. I know it sounds strange, but I promise it’s super yummy!

I've only attempted this once and it just wasn't right. Can't wait to try it your way although probably more Mizithra as I love that cheese. Mizithra just doesn't taste as good in anything else and to me there is no substitue for it in this dish. So glad to see you do this dish. I’ve only attempted this once and it just wasn’t right.

I absolutely hated tomato sauce when I was a kid, so when my parents took me to Spaghetti Factory I would order this. Mizithra is sooo good. And you're right, brown butter is wonderful! ...Oh, and I love tomato sauce now that I'm all grown up. Takes me back to my childhood.

Mizithra is a greek cheese that I usually find in the imported cheese section at my supermarket. If you can't find it, there really is no substitute that will give you the exact same flavor but a blend of freshly shredded Parmesan and Romano cheese would be just as delicious. Neel- Thank you for asking before using it! We don't mind if you use the photo as long as it links back to the recipe. Susan Marie- Thank you for that suggestion. That sounds wonderful!

I, too, have just recently discovered brown butter - something else you can do is fry up fresh sage leaves in the butter as it browns, then toss them with the pasta.
