Amazing Simple Greek Pasta Voutirou

1. Cook the pasta in well-salted water according to the instructions on the package.

2. While the pasta is cooking, grate your mizythra (also spelled myzithra). Make sure you have gotten the white, rather dry, crumbly variety! Use either a microplane or the fine grating on a box grater, not a coarse grating. Set aside.

3. Drain the pasta and return to the warm pan.

4. Add the butter and toss until melted and the pasta is coated.

5. Add the mizithra, garlic and red pepper flakes (if desired). Toss to distribute evenly throughout the pasta.

6. Serve hot with World-Class Garlic Bread (see recipe).
