This can be made with traditional Greek egg noodles (hilopites), which you can bring home with you directly from the village or island; or, with any hand-made egg noodles you find at a delicatessen. Simple, very easy to make and filling. A great dish to treat your children with!

Συστατικά

500g Greek or other egg noodles
500g salted butter
2 cups grated Greek Kefalotyri cheese or any other type of piquante cheese
salt and white pepper

Οδηγίες

1. Bring a full pot of salted water to a boil and cook the egg noodles until well done. They should be softer than al dente in texture.

2. Just before the noodles are strained, melt the butter in a shallow skillet over low heat until the butter bubbles up and browns.

3. Spread a third of the strained noodles on a large platter and sprinkle with a third of the cheese. Pour the melted butter on top. Add a second layer of noodles, cheese and butter and repeat one last ime.

4. Serve immediately!!!

Tip

Timing is the secret to this very simple dish.
