Myzithra Spaghetti was made famous by the Old Spaghetti Factory. The Ducks remember going to the Hollywood restaurant on Sunset Blvd in the 70s and 80s.
We added some bacon to the traditional recipe. It is so easy to make. .
Ingredients
2 pounds spaghetti
12 ounces grated myzithra cheese
4 ounces grated parmesan cheese
3 sticks salted butter
1 pound bacon
1 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
Prepare 2 pounds of spaghetti until Al Dente.
Fry 1 pound of bacon and crush into bits.
Mix 12 ounces of grated myzithra cheese, 4 ounces of grated parmesan cheese and 1 tablespoon of garlic powder.
Fry 3 sticks of salted butter on medium to high heat. Stir for a few minutes and it will become foamy.
Continue to stir for about 10 minutes. The butter solids will separate and sink to the bottom of the pan.
Pour the butter into a strainer or cheesecloth to separate the solids from the brown clarified butter.
Throw the solids away.
Add the brown butter to the spaghetti and stir.
Add most of the cheese mixture to the spaghetti. Leave some aside if your guests want to add more.
Serve hot with garlic bread and a vegetable.
