Ingredients

Pasta, of choice
4 tablespoons butter
8 sage leaves
1/2 lemon, juiced
1/4 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano

Directions

While your pasta cooks, melt butter in a 12 to 14-inch saute pan and continue cooking until golden brown color ("noisette") appears in the thinnest liquid of the butter. Add sage leaves and remove from heat. Add lemon juice and set aside. Drain the pasta, but leaving some cooking water, and gently pour into saute pan and return to heat. Add the cheese, toss to coat and serve immediately.

This is my "go to" recipe after a long day at the office. Needless to say - fresh sage is a must.

huge hit
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I actually didn't make this. I was the recipient and had to have the recipe. It was such a hit at dinner last night. There... were three sauces for the pasta: a homemade marinara, an alfredo, and this butter sage sauce. The other sauces were practically untouched! It was INCREDIBLY delicious! Kudos to the chef! Can't wait to make it for my guests!Read more
