Mizithra Noodles

Ingredients:
1 hunk mizithra cheese, finely grated
1 stick salted butter (not margarine)
1 package shell noodles (or any other kind)

Directions:
Cook pasta according to package directions. Grate cheese while noodles are cooking. On a pot on the stove, melt butter and cook on low until light browned and clear from bubbles. It should smell fragrant and nutty. Don't let it overcook! When pasta is done, pour a spoonful of browned butter (however much you want) over noodles and sprinkle a generous amount of mizithra cheese on top. Enjoy!
