This is a quick, easy weeknight meal that breaks away from the norm of red sauce with pasta. It really goes well with stuffed pastas. I also just love having another dish where I can incorporate sage.
Brown Butter Sauce
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
- 6 fresh sage leaves (tear into pieces) or 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves
- 1/2 teaspoon salt, plus more to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus more to taste
- Pinch of freshly grated Nutmeg (this really brings the dish to life so don’t omit!)
- 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
In a large, heavy frying pan, melt butter over medium high hear until pale golden, about 4 minutes. Add the sage or basil leaves and cook until crisp, about 2 minutes. Stir in 1/2 tsp of salt, 1/4 tsp of pepper, and the nutmeg. Season the sauce with more salt and pepper to taste. Sprinkle with the Parmesan cheese, and serve. How easy is that??
