Old Spaghetti Factory's Spaghetti with Burnt Butter

Cut the butter into tablespoon-sized pieces and place in a heavy 2-quart saucepan over medium heat. Let the butter just come to a simmer, then stir constantly until it starts to foam. When the butter starts to turn an amber color, remove the pan from the heat. Let the browned butter rest for a few minutes so the sediment will settle to the bottom of the pan.

Pour the browned butter into a bowl through a fine mesh strainer to remove the sediment.

To serve, divide the cooked pasta between individual serving bowls. Top each serving of pasta with 1/4 cup of the Mizithra cheese. Pour 1/4 cup of the hot browned butter over the top. Serve immediately.
