This is one of my favorite indulgences. What is better then sitting down to a big plate of pasta? - I seem to especially like this in the fall for a quick meal. The browned butter gives it a sweet richness and the Mizithra cheese is just..... YUM! Mizithra cheese is now easier to find in the grocery stores. Winco has it for a great price.

2 oz Linguini
2 TBS Butter
2 oz Mizithra Cheese, grated
1 TBS Parmesan Cheese, grated

Boil your pasta in salted water until it is al dente. Melt your butter and cook over low heat until it is caramel colored. Pour the butter over the pasta being careful not to pour over the browned bits that settle to the bottom. Toss with 1/2 of the cheese and coat the pasta well. Top the pasta with the rest of the cheese.
