Cuisine: Italian
Keyword: pasta
Servings: 3

Equipment

  • 1 large sauce pan around 3 quarts will work
  • 1 small sauce pan 1 quart in size

Ingredients

  • 5 Tbsp unsalted butter
  • 8 fresh sage leaves
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • Kosher Salt
  • 10-12 oz fresh filled pasta Ex., Rana Italian Sausage Ravioli

Instructions

  • In the small sauce pan, melt the butter until it stops foaming - this should take around 4-5 minutes. Add sage leaves, and cook for 2 minutes, flipping them over once. Remove from heat and add lemon juice to stop the butter from cooking more.
  • Meanwhile, cook pasta in large pot, according to package directions, being sure to add enough salt to the water to make it taste like the ocean. Yes, that much. Don't be shy. Drain the pasta, retaining about ΒΌ c of the pasta water.
  • Toss the butter and sage with the pasta, adding a little bit of water if desired. Enjoy!
