Time 30m

Yield Serves 5

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/2 cup butter
12 fresh sage leaves
1 cup frozen petite peas
Salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1 pound fresh fettuccine
1/4 pound Parmesan, grated (about 1 1/2 cups)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Over medium heat, melt 1/4 cup of the butter in a small saucepan. Add the sage leaves and cook until they are crisp. When the butter begins to brown, add the peas and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add 1/4 cup water, cover the saucepan and reduce the heat to low. Cook for 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the fettuccine until al dente, 2 to 3 minutes, drain well and toss with the remaining butter, 3/4 cup of the grated Parmesan and the pea-and-sage mixture. Transfer to an ovenproof dish and place in the oven for 5 minutes. Sprinkle with the remaining Parmesan.

BUTTER, FRESH SAGE, AND WALNUT SAUCE



Butter, Fresh Sage, and Walnut Sauce image

Yield for 1 pound of pasta

Number Of Ingredients 5

8 tablespoons (1 stick) butter, or more to taste!
6 fresh sage leaves
1 cup chopped walnuts, 1/8- to-1/4-inch bits
Hot water from pasta-cooking pot
1 cup freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano or Grana Padano

Steps:

  • Melt the butter over medium-high heat in the skillet, and scatter the sage leaves around the pan.
  • When the butter begins to sizzle, drop the chopped walnuts in a hot spot. Toast them, stirring them in the butter for a minute or so, until they start to turn light brown.
  • Ladle in 1 cup of pasta-cooking water. Cook at an active simmer for about 3 minutes, to develop flavor and thicken the sauce.
  • Finish sauce with cooked pasta, tossing and cooking together over low heat (for details, see page 105). Off the heat, toss pasta with the freshly grated cheese just before serving.
  • My favorite-fresh Buckwheat Pasta with Walnuts (page 173), cut in lacce (shoestrings). Also, whole-wheat, flaxseed, cornmeal, and barley pasta. Yes, and dry spaghetti is good when no fresh pasta is around.
