Butter & Sage Sauce over Pasta

"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."

  • Toss the with hot cooked pasta.

  1. I learned about this from an Argentinian-Italian man who owned a fresh pasta store that has gone out of business. The trick is to cook the butter until carmelized but not smoking. This is a very comforting dish and was presented to me as a main dish.
