Yes, it's an easy, no brainer classic that I adore. :)
Goes together in well under 30 minutes:Just make the brown butter, cook the pasta al dente,sprinkle the cheese over the hot, drained pasta andpour the browned butter over all and toss, then serve hot.I usually add a little of the hot water from the pastapot to loosen the sauce a little.
It's soo good!I usually serve this alongside grilled fish or chicken ~unless I am making a variation of the recipe (addingcooked shrimp, fish, or chicken to the noodles, see moresuggestions listed below.) If you're cutting carbs the saucealso works well with cooked Spaghetti squash.
This is another of those simple recipe that Ikeep in my head. However, I prepare the recipenearly the same way as this one , except I usuallyadd a little of the caramel colored milk solids from thebottom of the pan to the noodles (personal preference.)This time I added some finely grated lemon zest and servedlittle lemon slices so each one can add a squeeze if they wanted to.
If you cannot find the Greek Mizithra cheese, grated Romano,Ricotta Salada, or Parmesan can be substituted in a pinch.
Yum, I love this stuff!

Elise at Simply Recipes shares a wonderful picture tutorial on the subject.
And Mark Bittmann offers up at least a dozen variations forPasta with Butter sauce. You may want to check out his suggestions over on his web site.
The following are just some examples to launch from this simple butteredspaghetti (or fettuccine) dish.
Add in one or a couple of the following:
Sage (or any favorite fresh herb or a mixture) and ParmesanVegetables, Cream and ParmesanParmesan and pancetta, coppa, prosciutto or regular hamFrozen peas, thawedToasted almonds, walnuts or pistachiosCapersThinly sliced garlic clovesBlanched broccoli or cauliflowerSoft fried eggs, choppedRoasted garlic cloves, mashedCooked prawns, salmon, or chicken, etc.
There are so many ideas and I'm sure you can come upwith lots of your own as well.
But it's really delicious just plain as in the original recipe (and kids happen to love it that way, too!)
