Tsouchti Pasta
INGREDIENTS
1 bag (8 oz) bag of hilopites or pappardelle pasta (see notes)
3–4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1/4 cup unsalted butter, room temperature (see notes)
1/2 cup freshly grated Mizithra cheese
Zest of 1/2 lemon
4 large eggs -1 per person (see notes)
A handful of finely chopped toasted walnuts
Salt & pepper, to taste
DIRECTIONS
Prepare the pasta by boiling it in a salted pot of water. I like to cook my pasta until it is just al dente.
Drain the pasta and set it aside on a plate.
In a large pot, add the butter, olive oil, and lemon zest. Toss to combine over medium heat. Once the butter begins to turn a light golden brown, add the pasta. Toss well to coat the pasta in the butter mixture.
Add the grated Mizithra cheese and serve with toasted walnuts and one runny fried egg on top. Finish with freshly cracked pepper and extra Mizithra if desired.
