ANGEL HAIR with BROWN BUTTER & MIZITHRA CHEESE

Around here most any kind of noodle is a pretty safe bet. Buckaroo #4 is the only one who doesn't care for them much, which I always thought was a little strange since sometimes it was all the other 3 would eat when they were that small.
One of our favorite ways to do pasta is with a SIMPLE Brown Butter and Mizithra cheese on top. ---Mizithra cheese is a traditional Greek, unpasteurized fresh cheese made with milk and whey from sheep and/or goats.--- Just in case ya were wonderin'. :)
But honestly, how can you go wrong with butter? And the sweet, creamy flavor of the Mizithra with the saltiness of the browned butter are sooo good together. I also ♥♥♥ the fact that there are only 3 ingredients. Unless you want to throw in a clove of pressed garlic, which is also delish. (Mmmm...my mouth is watering.)
Buckaroo #1 would eat it for every meal if I let him. So you definitely need to give this a try.
By the way, you can find the Mizithra in the specialty cheeses. It's not super cheap, but a little goes a long way and it stays good for quite a while. So worth it!

1 cup butter
Mizithra cheese
Angel Hair pasta (or whatever you prefer, I used thin spaghetti in this pic)


Cut 2 sticks of butter into 8 pieces and place in a 2-quart sauce pan. Place the pan of butter on a burner on medium heat. Bring butter to a slow boil (about 5 minutes).
Once the butter begins to boil, stir constantly to prevent residue from sticking to the bottom of the pan. As the butter cooks, it will start to foam and rise. Keep on stirring, otherwise the butter foam could overflow (about 5 minutes) and catch fire.
Once the butter stops foaming and rising, cook until it's sort of an amber color (about 1 to 2 minutes). It will have a yummy caramel smell.
Turn off the heat and take the pan off the burner. Let the sediment settle to the bottom of the pan for a few minutes.

Pour the brown butter through a strainer into a small bowl. Try not to disturb the residue at the bottom of the pan. 
Boil your Angel Hair until Al Dente. Drain the pasta and divide into servings. I use a small grater and put about a Tbs of cheese on each serving and then pour some of the brown butter over the top.
(A little of both goes a long way.)
Enjoy!
