Mizithra sounds like the main bad guy in a D&D campaign

No, sounds like I'm about to be asked to talk to my doctor to find out if Mizithra is right for me.

As a 50 year + customer of the Spaghetti Factory in Vancouver and surrounding communities I can absolutely say this is the best Pasta dish of all time.

[@quinn-wf3kk]

I agree. Sometimes I would look forward to their clam sauce though and it isn't on the menu anymore. Boo :(

@@quinn-wf3kk You can still get the clam sauce, but not on it's own dish. It's on the Pot-Pourri (sampler) spaghetti

[@Trauncher]

I'vbe been to the spaghetti factory hundreds of times since the mid 70s (the one by the Balboa pier)... every time, I had the manager's favorite (which is 50/50 of two sauces). I got brown butter and Mythritha on one half, and rich meat sauce on the other. then, to eat it, you cut enough for a few bites across the two sauces, mix that together, and eat that part. and move forward through the plate. cutting/mixing eating... deliriously good. Heavenly. absolutely HEAVEN.

[@SandyF_trouble]

That's what I get. Sometimes add zesty sausage.

[@elizabethm.4916]

Exactly! That’s the BEST order at OSF!

[@ahill4642]

SAME 😍

[@Kolopaper]

As a Greek who uses this cheese a lot, i love it, and the pronunciation was good as well. That cheese is also good even with plain pasta and some ground pepper on top, no sauce at all. (For days where you might not to spend much time in the kitchen)

[@JohnHausser]

It’s not rocket science, dude 😅

[@desireco]

OK Greek bro, where can I find this cheese? I will try Greek stores, where else?

[@Kolopaper]

@@desireco Since i live in Greece i probably wouldn't know where else you can find it!! I am guessing Greek stores should do the trick

[@kristirosin291]

For YEARS I tried to remake the spaghetti factory mizithra dish using this recipe and it always came out tasting a little too salty and a little off. I learned that they actually add some Romano cheese in with the mizithra. Makes all the difference!

[@brucetrathen8011]

Use unsalted butter helps

[@jokajams77see89]

As a truck driver who has traveled the country several times over. I absolutely enjoy watching the videos after a stressful day of cars or trucks also known as 4wheelers, cutting us semi drivers off all day. The comradery between you all. I continously have conversations about your channel to other drivers, my wife and friends. Your recipes sound and look so amazing when I finally get a moment to consider doing any of them. The month and a half away from home honey do list pops up and I've got 4 to five days to get something accomplished. I just wanted to say I appreciate the humor,creativity, and chill vibe from your channel. Thank you look forward to seeing more videos. By the way this dish sounds amazing.

[@suzeesmu]

This was the only item I ever ordered at The Old Spaghetti Factory since I was a kid! SOOOO YUMMY. I've made it at home several times and you made me crave it again!

[@kevinmaynard8273]

I literally just yelled out across the house “Sam the Cooking Guy made Mizithra pasta from The Spaghetti Factory!!!” I love this dish and have tried making it at home so many times. Was always good but not exact. You have no idea how many of your tips, methods and recipes are in my repertoire by now. Thanks!!!

[@JohnHausser]

That’s cute 😊

[@Trauncher]

Hot tip, the spaghetti factory will sell you a large container of Mithra cheese. They make it there themselves. We tried to make it at home too but nothing from the grocery store that says Mithra on it really tastes like spaghetti factory.

[@sullivan9191]

The spaghetti factory sells it in plastic containers at grocery stores now

[@kchowland]

Used to work at OSF. the cheese you get is a mix of Mizithra and Romano

[@sullivan9191]

@@kchowland exactly! you can buy it at the restaurant in a bag (if I remember correctly) or at the grocery store in a plastic container (have it in my fridge) ..I’ve tried this recipe with mizithra on its own and it doesn’t taste right.

Mizithra is a greek cheese and we actually make a dish very similar in Greece! Your version looks delicious, Sam!

[@Krunked]

whats a good substitute for it? feta? parm? i cant find Mizithra anywhere.

[@thaliav89]

@@Krunked Parmesan is a good substitute, mizithra is a dry and not that salty cheese. Feta would be very overpowering in this dish 🙂

Thank you Chance and Max for bringing this to our home and making us cook! You guys ROCK!

[@MrDrivingFaster]

This is like a very rare Greek pasta recipe, respect for finding it. GREEK PRO TIP: It is served with a sunny side up fried egg, that you break over the pasta and yolk oozes over it. Drooling as I type it

[@allamericancooking]

Love this, can’t wait to try it. And love the way you demonstrate the browning of butter and all of its amazing benefits! Great work!

[@robertgreen94]

Great quick recipe, Italian and Greek combo😊

[@jtkappy7742]

Spaghetti factory does a garlic mizithra that had mushrooms and bacon in it as well and it’s amazing.

[@Hitchhiker101-kq2uc]

Sam, great memories about the Spaghetti Factory Mizritha cheese . Remember it well. Now, of course you remember they had an option of half clam sauce and half Mizritha cheese. Great memories back to 1975. Love to see you duplicate that!!!!!!!

[@sawliss]

According to Google's AI Overview, Mizithra is a Greek cheese made from sheep's or goat's milk, or a combination of both, and whey. Fresh Mizithra resembles ricotta and salt-dried Mizithra is like a salty parmesan.
