Eat This Now – Greek Spaghetti with Mizithra Cheese at YASSOU!

[imagebrowser id=1785]

If you’ve never had it, mizithra cheese is a semi-sharp goat and/or sheep’s milk cheese which contains a certain, distinctive sourness that makes it perfect for topping pasta.

Pasta like the big, thick bucatini strands the Yassou Greek Grille Cafe (whew!) uses to make their Greek spaghetti.

The recipe is simplicity itself, consisting of simply pouring browned butter over al dente pasta and giving it a liberal sprinkling of cheese and cracked pepper. Those flavors of slightly nutty, sour and sharp meld uniquely with the toothsome tubes, making each bite the very essence of simple, soulful satisfaction. Garnish with a little gyro meat and you have a humongous lunch for one, or a  perfect pasta repast for two.

Best of all, the whole enchilada only costs ten bucks.

Greek Food Festival Starts Tomorrow!

ELV note: The Greek Food Festival starts tomorrow afternoon. ELV, looking quite Hellenic in his Greek fisherman’s cap we might add, will be tending bar there tomorrow night. He encourages all of his readers to come and have a shot of ouzo with him. Details are below, but you’ll have to come and buy him a shot to get the details of how drunk he will get (all for a good cause, of course). To get a picture of how he will look (after a few ouzoritas, some retsina and a Mextaxa or three)….continue after the jump.
