Ingredients

  • Pasta, of choice
  • 4 tablespoons butter

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.

    After making several versions of "brown butter sage sauce" going back to the frugal gourmet, this recipe finally is bright, light, and full of flavor.Saucy because of the pasta water. Very tasty on fish also..a little corn starch dissolved in chicken stock if you are not making pasta.
