Butter & Sage Sauce over Pasta image

This is another cook book recipe. I love sage and during the summer we have it growing in our garden. Use fresh for this dish and use a good butter. I use an European butter. This is the perfect recipe, simple, cheap and delicious. *For the pasta try linguine, fettuccine, a stuffed pasta with a ricotta filling or potato gnocchi. I have also used a simple egg noodle.

Yield 4-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 lb pasta (*please see note above)
1/2 cup butter, quality and freshness count
8 sage leaves
parmigiano-reggiano cheese, grated

Steps:

  • Put the butter in a skillet over medium heat.
  • When the butter foam subsides and the butter is golden but not brown tear the sage leaves into 2 or 3 pieces and add to the butter. It is important that the butter reach this point. Resist the desire to add the sage too soon.
  • Cook for about a minute while stirring, careful not to let the sage burn but it should take on a little color.
  • Toss the with hot cooked pasta.
  • Pass the cheese at the table.
