Macaronia Me Voutyro - Pasta with Brown Butter Sauce
1 lb Spaghetti or other pasta 1/2 c Kefalotyri or Parmesan
1/2 lb Butter -grated
Fill a large deep pot 3/4 full with water. Add salt and bring to a
rolling boil. Add pasta slowly, without breaking the boil. Cook 10
minutes. Place a colander in sink and turn pasta into it. Rinse
under hot running water, allowing the water to drain through the
spaghetti.
Heat the butter in a small saucepan to a honey brown. Watch it
carefully for these minutes; it burns quickly and suddenly. Return
spaghetti to large pot and dribble hot butter over it. Sprinkle with
half the cheese and toss gently to mix.
Transfer to a large ovenproof platter, sprinkle top with more cheese
and bake for 10 minutes at 350 F. Serve hot.
