From nowhere, I had a craving for pasta with browned butter and my favorite pasta cheese, mizithera (also spelled with a "y" in some places).
- Melt and cook on medium 1 stick of butter.
 - Cook it about 6 minutes, you want it to smell amazing and be an "amber" color.  Stir while you do this, nobody likes burnt butter.
 - Once butter is browned, take off heat, and zest/grate 1 clove of garlic into the butter, stir.
 - While you are fussing with that butter business, cook pasta (spaghetti?), strain and return to pot.
 - Now pour the browned butter over the drained pasta, add a pinch of salt if you used unsalted butter, sprinkle some ground pepper, and add 1/4 C grated parmesan and 1/4 C grated mizithera cheese-- stir to combine.

 
I served this with a side 
salad since the butter is a bit heavy.  Delicious!
