I know, olive oil is not as good, but I am getting used to the taste. Could I use just half the butter and mix in some olive oil, or would that ruin it?Grandma Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09249883462121335770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7310300.post-88449261060658922652008-01-12T13:41:00.000-08:002008-01-12T13:41:00.000-08:00You really need to brown the butter to get the act...You really need to brown the butter to get the actual same flavor as the Spaghetti Factory's.

Pasta with butter and cheese is a go-to comfort meal in our house.

It's now the only thing I ever order there now - so yummy.<BR/><BR/>Good luck with the move!Morganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07173746904946406303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7310300.post-83118869605455339722007-09-13T06:26:00.000-07:002007-09-13T06:26:00.000-07:00This used to be called "Spaghetti Homer" on the OS...This used to be called "Spaghetti Homer" on the OSF menu and it was my favourite thing!! The reason OSF called it "Spaghetti Homer" was allegedly this was the only dish Homer ate for the rest of his life after finishing the Iliad. Of course, if I had to write the Iliad (reading it was bad enough) I would need to have cheesy pasta for the rest of my life too!<BR/><BR/>Sara, I so know what you mean about whatever you eat you don't have to pack...<BR/><BR/>Good luck with the move!!breadchickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04376772267923924607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7310300.post-69491187356474094252007-09-13T06:10:00.000-07:002007-09-13T06:10:00.000-07:00Holy crap, I'm the only one has has never heard of...Holy crap, I'm the only one has has never heard of the OSF or Myzithra cheese!
