Mizithra spaghetti at the Old Spaghetti Factory is one of my favorite childhood memories as well. I looked at two other RUclips recipes, and yours appears to be the best because, to my horror, the other recipes either skimmed the milk solids or held them back from the pasta. Yours was the only recipe that rightly left the brown bits in, which is why it is called *browned* butter. The other recipes are essentially using clarified (i.e., nearly tasteless) butter. Many thanks for your helpful demonstration - I am looking forward to trying it out tonight!
Hi Oudeis! What a nice note, thank you so much for your kind words! Browned butter, exactly! I always make the original recipe in all of my videos so you can truly experience the past through food at home. I hope you enjoy one of your favorites and find more childhood food memories here!
I ate Spaghetti with Browned Butter and Mizithra Cheese for the first time in Spokane, WA at The Old Spaghetti Factory. This was in 1974 and I fell in love with this dish. I have been craving it so I looked up a recipe and found you! I already have my Mizithra Cheese, butter and spaghetti. I'll pop over to the store and grab some Romano, can't wait to make it!!!
Hi Pamela! Welcome! I'm so happy you found me! I love that you already have mizithra cheese in your fridge! Most people have a very hard time finding it. So you are already way ahead of the game! And if you were there in the seventies, that's my absolute favorite decade! I have so many other videos on dishes from The Fabulous 70s here on my channel. I hope you enjoy them and maybe some will spark some childhood memories! Have a wonderful weekend!🍸❤️
@@yesterkitchen Will definitely peruse your channel and explore all your wonderful recipes. Thank you for taking the time to make all these videos for us to enjoy!
I grew up in the Denver area and thee Old Spaghetti Factory was a regular go to place. My go to item was the Manager's Favorite with Mizithra, meat sauce and a side of the White Clam Sauce. Our table would also order a bowl of Mizithra to add. Of course the little salad and the Spumoni ice cream.
Hi bionicsjw! Oh yes! My go to was half mizithra and half white clam sauce. YUM!!! I always got their pesto dressing on my salad and definitely spumoni! You have excellent taste! It's been so many years since I've been and now I'm super craving it! At least I can make the pasta! LOL! I'm so honored you stopped by! I hope you have fun exploring more food memories here! Have a beautiful weekend! 💖🍸
Hi Christopher! Oh yay! I'm so happy you got to experience the Spaghetti Factory! I agree, that this is one of my all-time favorites! I'd much rather get it in the restaurant but it's so wonderful to know that you can easily recreate it at home. So happy you stopped by! Have a wonderful weekend! 🍸❤️
Hello! The Spaghetti Factory restaurants are HAUNTED! I like the ghosts! The MIZITHRA and browned butter pasta is DELICIOUS and my personal favorite. Thanks for your lovely recipe!! :)
Hi Rodd! Welcome! Really? I must say that I was at the Sunset Blvd location too many times to count and never felt that. But what a wild experience. Now you can make your favorite. Have fun exploring more retro history through food here! 🍸❤️
I loved going to The Old Spaghetti factory as a kid. There was a small restaurant near our house in Highland that also served this dish, and my older sister always ordered it.
Hi Ron! Welcome! I am so happy this brought back some memories for you! My channel is all about dishes from the past that hopefully will bring back even more memories! Really? I love to hear that! I have never heard of another restaurant serving this dish besides the Old Spaghetti Factory! SO happy you were able to get it elsewhere! And now you can make it at home! :) I hope you have fun exploring more history through food here! Have a beautiful day! 💖🍸
I've been to the one where you and your brother used to go, as well as 3 or 4 others (Newport, San Diego, Upland, Riverside) but what I liked best about the Hollywood location was that the furnishings were from old movie sets. I always get either all mizithra cheese or have it half-and-half with Alfredo. Yummy!!
Thanks for bringing back such fabulous memories! I've been to so many of the restaurants that I have lost count. This dish was my favorite along with the spumoni they gave you afterwards! Keep doing what you're doing, you make it look so easy !
Hi Cathy!!! So happy you stopped by! This is simplicity at it's finest! I am excited you are going to try it! When you do, let me know! I'd love to see a pic! 💖🍸
Mizithra! Mmmmm! I Love it! My fave thing to order when I used to be able to got to The Old Spaghetti Factory! BTW, the Old Spaghetti Factory actually has their Mizithra & Romano Cheese blend in tubs at some grocery stores now! I even found it all the way up here at the far northern end of the Idaho Panhandle! Oh what delicious memories. I just do the browned butter and then add the cheese! Yum.
Hi Ella Belle! Really? Well I happen to be on the far northern end of the panhandle too! Which store???? I buy straight mizithra, which thankfully they have! So happy you enjoyed your trip down memory land and I hope you find more memories here!
I remember going there several times when I was in the Navy stationed in San Diego. My friends and I loved the strawberry margaritas, and as for my favorite dish, I really liked the Pot Pourri which was the sampler. Oh and can't forget about the spumoni.
Thank you for your service Connie! I loved the pot pourri! Had that many times until I decided the managers special was my fave (1/2 mizithra and 1/2 clam). And definitely the spumoni!!! I dont think I ever got a drink there, next time I'm there, I'll get a strawberry margarita! Thank you!
I was HEARTBROKEN when they closed the one in Hollywood!!! The closest one to us is in Monrovia and that's far away. We went to San Diego and had this with some chicken breast. HEAVEN! Thank you soooooooooooooooooooooo very much for making this. I am going to be making this Sunday. You are the BEST!!!
Hi Stephanie!! Me too! It was always so busy I couldn't understand why the closed! I have passed the one in Monrovia many times but was always on my way somewhere so never stopped. Wow, I am humbled by your kind words. Thank you for spending time with me and I hope you have fun exploring more memories through food here! Enjoy your dinner on Sunday! I'm jealous!! 🍸💖
Oh... Hi Lorelei! Welcome! And I'm sorry I made you homesick. But it sounds like you have some wonderful memories you just recaptured. That place was awesome, wasn't it? So sad that it is long gone. My whole channel is about dishes of the past and the memories and stories. I hope you have fun exploring. Looking forward to hearing from you in another video, have a wonderful day! 🍸❤️
my greek family makes brown butter spaghetti all the time and it is a family favorite. Butter and parmesan cheese. romano probably too strong flavored. Anyway the pasta with a side of vegetables (broccoli works well) and just about any kind of good meat, sometimes a broiled steak from the grill (petit filet) or a pork loin from the oven. Then of course some apple sauce for the pork.
How did I ever miss this? Love goat cheese of any kinds. Beautifully browned butter, Jill. "Be very generous with your cheese." Oh yes...please! What a gorgeous bowl of deliciousness! Thanks for sharing!
I went The Old Spaghetti Factory for the first time today! I have a few food allergies and did some studying on what I might be able to eat. (Beef and soy allergies...even soy oil.) I found that there's none in this dish as well as a couple of others there! (One of which is their tasty marinara.) And from my first bite of Mizithra and Browned Butter Spaghetti I loved it! From now on I'm going to go there when I want spaghetti! It's wonderful!
Oh wow! That's awesome Seth! It's amazing, isn't it? I'm so happy it's on your approved list. Hubby has some food intolerances so I get it. I love this place so much and am so happy you got to go and especially that Mizithra is on your approved list! Happy holidays!! 🍸❤️
Hi David! Portland, cool! Isn't it great! I miss it so much! Especially the trolley. So many great memories! Such fantastic food! I'm so happy you stopped by! I hope you're having fun learning history through food here! Have a glorious day! 🍸❤️
Spaghetti factory is one of my favorite restaurants. I always get the manager special, mazithra and brown butter with marinara meat sauce. I like the combination because it's a little less rich than just the mezithra and brown butter alone. I'm making this tomorrow for my son and I for lunch, can't wait! 🍝 Thank you for the video. 💕
Whenever I go, I get the manager special too! Although for my other house I pick their clam sauce.😊 I'm so excited that you get to have it tomorrow! I hope you get back to me and let you know how much your son loved it!❤️🍸
@@yesterkitchen Our lunch turned out delicious! I made the Mizithra and brown butter with the marinara meat combo. Almost felt like we were dining in the Spaghetti Factory trolley car! Thank you again for the video. 💕
Cool concept for a channel! Old Spaghetti Factory in STL is still busy as all get out! I’m here from Cooking with Rexy’s channel. Glad to discover your channel!
Welcome Dad Incredible and thank you to my girl Rexy! Hope to entertain you and show you some great retro. :) I will definitely be checking out your channel! Love BBQ!

New sub here, 👍🏻#15. You had me at brown butter. I haven’t been to Old Spaghetti Factory in years, but this was a favorite of my father. I didn’t realize it was this easy to make. I’ll have to give this a try. Thanks for the recipe 🙏
That's awesome that you have an old menu. I went to an Old Spaghetti Factory in Portland... Wonder if it was the original. My mouth is watering! Looks like heaven indeed!
I have such a big box of menus! I've been collecting for years! I"m not exactly sure if there are more than one in Portland but any OSF is a good one!! And...yes, it is pretty much heaven!
I never heard of Mizithra cheese, but now I’m on a mission to find it! I love quick and simple dishes with lots of flavor. I’m so glad I found out about your channel. Looking forward to watching more of your videos! ~Andrea
I stopped going to OSF after 40 years of dedication because the quality went down. I tried again in 2019 and we ordered 6 brown butter mizithra dinners. Dry, little butter very inedible. Left in disgust. So thank you for this recipe!
Awwwwww that's such a bummer Armando! Then I am so happy you can now make it at home and it will be awesome! It's always my honor to share these recipes of the past!!
Hi Fran, Welcome and thank you!!! Romano will work but try to find Mizithra if possible, that original taste really makes the dish! But yep, it will work and still be yummy! Have fun learning history through food here! 💖🍸
I actually emailed OSF about this recipe some years ago ; they were very polite , stated that it was the ONLY recipe they would give out as it was so simple and then omitted the Romano !
Hi Melora!!! Welcome! I'm so happy you are here! Half and Half rocks!!! I usually go with this and clam sauce. Thank you so much for your kind words! Have fun exploring retro history through food here! 💖🍸
Thank you for your lovely channel. I was thinking just yesterday how wonderful it would be to teach children history through cooking food from the past. Wouldn't that be a fun thing for a homeschool group or family?
Hi Deb!! I love this! I've been studying food history for about 40 years now and I know I learned much more this way than traditional school. I've always wanted to do teach history through food and I am so honored that you are here. I hope you have fun going through the decades and I look forward to hearing from you again! 🍸💖
Never been, sounds cool AF though!!! 🍝 The dish looked amazing. 😋 Def trying that one. Simple BUT probably Devine!! 🤤👩🏻🍳🦖💗 Sounds like a dish I do.. very similar, just different cheese. Delicious!!
Topped off with Spumoni ice cream. There is an itilian store near me that sells mizithra cheese. Wish I could just reach thtough the screen and eat the pasta now. Lucky I have a Spaghetti factory near me.
Another great video! I have never heard of this kind of cheese--I will have to look for it just to see if I can find it. You are right: some ingredients just have a certain taste, so they are irreplaceable in certain dishes. Eating in a trolley car in a restaurant looks awesome! The final presentation looked amazing: hot butter, spaghetti, cheese, and a bit of green from the parsley--looks delicious. Perfect for a cheat day haha
LOL, total cheat day but oh so good! I hope you can find it, it's a great treat! And I do miss the restaurant, one day I will drive a little farther to have it again. We never minded waiting for a table in the trolley (really limited seating as you can imagine), especially since there was an ultra cool bar to wait in. :)
Hi JIm! Believe it or not, I just bought mizithra today at Stater Bros, if you have that market near you. And yes, three are still some open. I have one here in Palm Springs! Hope you find it!
It's that old? I buy Mizithra cheese specifically just to make this. Always grate the cheese fresh. I use good Italian pasta and the little trick where you add the pasta water to the pasta . It makes it butter stick better. I thought this was a thing!, but then again, I'm from Bend.
Hi ConstantCompanion! Yep, it's that old! I'm so happy you make it! I wish I was able to find whole mizithra but it's only available graded here. You are very lucky! And thank you for the trick! That would definitely make life easier! The more better than better! Have fun exploring retro history through food here! 🍸❤️
I am so happy that this is your favorite too!! 💟 This is intended to make one serving at a time so hopefully there won't be much. But if there is, I would recommend warming is on a low heat on the stove top rather than the microwave. Then it should be fine. Let me know how it goes! And thank you for your support!!!! 🍸
Hi Adri! Thank you, I've never tried anything else but I can see the flavor profile being similar. That sure helps when you can't find mizithra. I hope you have fun exploring retro history through food here! 🍸❤️
Did you order this? DO you love it? One of my all time faves, although I am a fan of their clam sauce as well and usually order half Mizithra and half clam sauce. 💖🍸
I will do that. I have a recipe for you that I had growing up in the '70's in a burb of Cleveland. I will look and see if you have already made a video of it.
So Portland has Law about how many items you need on a menu to get a Restaurant License? Sounds about right...they also go crazy if you have a Burrito or Taco on your Menu and you aren't Mexican..I'm sure the same applies to Pizza.
Im eating delivery from there and eating the mizithra as I type this its the only thing I order from them but the noodles are not soft enough and im not enjoying it thus tije
No way! I love that you're watching this while eating it! Bummer about the noodles. I know, usually they get them perfect. At least now you can make it at home!
Oh my! If you ever get a chance, go! They are so adorable and all of them are different! I hope you get a chance to go, or at least do a search and see all the awesome pics!! 💖🍸
Hi Carol! Yeah, it can be. I can tell you that Trader Joe's has it if you have one near you. I have also seen it in Vons which is also Safeway. I am crossing my fingers for you because its so good!!!
Really good recipe... Will definitely try it and show something similar on my channel as well. Subscribed your Channel and will follow you. Wish you success for your channel in the future :) Stay connected #new subscriber 751 full view
The content was good for a specific item like this . That being said there’s way too much talking and not getting to the point at hand. For that reason I’m sure a lot of potential viewers probably went on to the next video. Less is more.

Mizithra spaghetti at the Old Spaghetti Factory is one of my favorite childhood memories as well.
I looked at two other RUclips recipes, and yours appears to be the best because, to my horror, the other recipes either skimmed the milk solids or held them back from the pasta. Yours was the only recipe that rightly left the brown bits in, which is why it is called *browned* butter. The other recipes are essentially using clarified (i.e., nearly tasteless) butter.

Hi Melora!!! Welcome! I'm so happy you are here! Half and Half rocks!!! I usually go with this and clam sauce. Thank you so much for your kind words! Have fun exploring retro history through food here! 💖🍸
Love your intro! the alfredo pasta looks yummy!
New friend!
Oh it is yummy! This is actually Spaghetti Mizithra but I have the real Fettuccine Alfredo in an earlier video. Also super easy and just as yummy! :)
Thank you for your lovely channel. I was thinking just yesterday how wonderful it would be to teach children history through cooking food from the past. Wouldn't that be a fun thing for a homeschool group or family?
Hi Deb!! I love this! I've been studying food history for about 40 years now and I know I learned much more this way than traditional school. I've always wanted to do teach history through food and I am so honored that you are here. I hope you have fun going through the decades and I look forward to hearing from you again! 🍸💖
Never been, sounds cool AF though!!! 🍝
The dish looked amazing. 😋 Def trying that one. Simple BUT probably Devine!! 🤤👩🏻🍳🦖💗 Sounds like a dish I do.. very similar, just different cheese. Delicious!!
Oh, it is cool AF! And it is divine! So easy and so good! Give it a try and report back!!!
YesterKitchen for sure. 💗
My very favorite ever is Old Spaghetti Factory Mizithra Cheese Spaghetti.
Topped off with Spumoni ice cream. There is an itilian store near me that sells mizithra cheese. Wish I could just reach thtough the screen and eat the pasta now. Lucky I have a Spaghetti factory near me.
Mine too!!!! And it's so easy to make as you can see. As long as mizithra cheese is available to you, you are golden!!! 🍸
The Hollywood location was great!
Hi Olga! Wasn't it!! I sure miss it! 🍸💖
This was always my go to pasta at the restaurant. Thanks for saying the name, I have been saying it wrong.
This is my fav restaurant!! This dish is AMAZING!!!!
Isn't this place great!! So sad my closest one closed but at least I can make my favorite dish!
Oh, you can also buy the cheese from spaghetti factory as well
I didn't know that! Awesome for people who live near a location!!!!! Thank you so much!!! 🍸
Another great video! I have never heard of this kind of cheese--I will have to look for it just to see if I can find it.
You are right: some ingredients just have a certain taste, so they are irreplaceable in certain dishes.
Eating in a trolley car in a restaurant looks awesome!
The final presentation looked amazing: hot butter, spaghetti, cheese, and a bit of green from the parsley--looks delicious. Perfect for a cheat day haha
LOL, total cheat day but oh so good! I hope you can find it, it's a great treat! And I do miss the restaurant, one day I will drive a little farther to have it again.
We never minded waiting for a table in the trolley (really limited seating as you can imagine), especially since there was an ultra cool bar to wait in. :)
@@yesterkitchen Sometimes waiting means that there is more time to talk, so that isn't always a bad thing--more time out of the house lol
@@ParnellTheChef Absolutely!!!!
@@yesterkitchen ;)
Looks yummy! Never tried this one before but I will for sure now!
You must! :) Then tell me what you think!
Great recipe, looks absolutely delicious !
It is! Give it a try!!!!

You must! It's sooooo good!
Love it!
Thank you! I hope you make it!!
I love Mithras cheese😊
Thanks dear friend stay connected
Absolutely!!
Only place I found Mizithra was on Amazon. Even Spaghetti Factory was out of stock. (curious if there are still any open)
Hi JIm! Believe it or not, I just bought mizithra today at Stater Bros, if you have that market near you. And yes, three are still some open. I have one here in Palm Springs! Hope you find it!
wow, this is cool, thanks for recreating this
Oh my pleasure. Retro is my jam! I have so many great recipes on my channel that I've recreated! Enjoy!
Old spaghetti factory job Jeff g
That's so cool Jeff! I'll bet it was a fun place to work! 🍸❤️
Mizithra... I have not heard of this cheese until you mentioned it...8)
Definitely give it a try! And let me know what you think!
It's that old? I buy Mizithra cheese specifically just to make this. Always grate the cheese fresh. I use good Italian pasta and the little trick where you add the pasta water to the pasta . It makes it butter stick better. I thought this was a thing!, but then again, I'm from Bend.
Hi ConstantCompanion! Yep, it's that old! I'm so happy you make it! I wish I was able to find whole mizithra but it's only available graded here. You are very lucky! And thank you for the trick! That would definitely make life easier! The more better than better! Have fun exploring retro history through food here! 🍸❤️
@@yesterkitchen Well that's the pits W!here do you live? I live in the Sacramento area. Most markets have the whole cheese.
@@ConstantCompanion I'm in the suburbs but if I really wanted to take a drive I know I could find it. I think you've inspired me to do that!
@@yesterkitchen use a microplane. 😊
video hay lắm, không gian bếp nhà bạn rất đẹp, mình rất thích video này, rung chuông nhà bạn luôn
Looks great!
Thank you, it is!! :)
Hi,nice recipe ,thanks
Thank you SHeetal!!!! Have a wonderful day!! 🌞
Oh, my daughter's favorite!
Welcome! I hope you have a chance to make it for her! The original recipe is just awesome! Let me know if you try it! I love to hear back!! 🌞🍸
This is what my husband orders every time we go!!!!
Now you can surprise him and make it at home! :)
Yes it’s my favorite. If it’s not recommended to combine all together. What do you recommend how to store for left overs?
I am so happy that this is your favorite too!! 💟 This is intended to make one serving at a time so hopefully there won't be much. But if there is, I would recommend warming is on a low heat on the stove top rather than the microwave. Then it should be fine. Let me know how it goes! And thank you for your support!!!! 🍸
Hey! I love when I get a shout-out,!! Yum!!!
Best brother ever!!! XOXO!
Is that a martini? I never saw you sip it. haha
Hi Norma! I started sipping it in later episodes, lol! 🍸❤️
Use any kind of sheep cheese and it is delicious.
Hi Adri! Thank you, I've never tried anything else but I can see the flavor profile being similar. That sure helps when you can't find mizithra. I hope you have fun exploring retro history through food here! 🍸❤️
Yum!!!
Oh, it is!
I've been to The Old Spaghetti Factory in Central Phoenix.
Did you order this? DO you love it? One of my all time faves, although I am a fan of their clam sauce as well and usually order half Mizithra and half clam sauce. 💖🍸
I think I just ordered the Spaghetti and meat sauce. Before your bid I had never heard of this dish.
@@thomcat850 OH!!! Well now you can try something new!!!! If you go, give it try! Or, now you know how to make it! 😉 If you do, please let me know!
I will do that. I have a recipe for you that I had growing up in the '70's in a burb of Cleveland. I will look and see if you have already made a video of it.
@@thomcat850 Oh YES! Please let me know. Both of my parents are from Cleveland. 🙂
So Portland has Law about how many items you need on a menu to get a Restaurant License? Sounds about right...they also go crazy if you have a Burrito or Taco on your Menu and you aren't Mexican..I'm sure the same applies to Pizza.
Its all very sad.
Im eating delivery from there and eating the mizithra as I type this its the only thing I order from them but the noodles are not soft enough and im not enjoying it thus tije
No way! I love that you're watching this while eating it! Bummer about the noodles. I know, usually they get them perfect. At least now you can make it at home!
Don't judge you? Too late, I judge you to be awesome.
Awwwwww Warren! You are awesome and I am truly humbled. 🍸❤️
delicious!
Ah....thank you!
Where is the mushroom and garlic portion of it?
That is not the original version. This is.
Great video 👌👍plz stay connected dear friend💐
Most definitely and thank you my new friend!
Added u dear friend
@@Avkash_ke_pal_Chandrani Well thank you!! Hope you enjoy the recipes!
i have NEVER been inside a spaghetti factory.....
Oh my! If you ever get a chance, go! They are so adorable and all of them are different! I hope you get a chance to go, or at least do a search and see all the awesome pics!! 💖🍸
@@yesterkitchen I promise that I will go there, one day. :-)
@@dorohironaka8443 💃 🕺
Does the Factory add romano ???
HI Vickie! Yes, the full and original recipe is below in the description. 🍸💖
It’s hard to find mizithra cheese
Hi Carol! Yeah, it can be. I can tell you that Trader Joe's has it if you have one near you. I have also seen it in Vons which is also Safeway. I am crossing my fingers for you because its so good!!!
Really good recipe... Will definitely try it and show something similar on my channel as well. Subscribed your Channel and will follow you. Wish you success for your channel in the future :) Stay connected #new subscriber 751 full view
This is a Greek staple I grew up with. Not Italian.
The content was good for a specific item like this . That being said there’s way too much talking and not getting to the point at hand. For that reason I’m sure a lot of potential viewers probably went on to the next video. Less is more.
In my humble opinion I actually enjoyed all the insight and detail, hard to find these days with all the click bait craze.
Thank you for your comments. My channel is all about food history, which is the point at hand, so telling the stories of the dishes is necessary. And based 99.9% of my comments, people appreciate it.
@@Damammoff Thank you so much Matt! I so appreciate your support and it's supportive comments like yours that keep me going! Food history is fascinating, isn't it? 💖🍸
