This morning I had the pleasure of presenting these classic flavours of Tuscany in a lovely pasta dish on CBC's Weekend Morning Show with Kerän Sanders. Excellent comfort food and so simple to prepare.
Sage Butter pasta (Burro e salvia)
1/3 cup butter.
Bunch of fresh sage leaves
1/2 cup grated Parmesan
Black pepper.
Wash and dry the sage leaves. Melt the butter in a saucepan and add the sage. Cook very gently over a low flame taking care not to let the butter burn. Pour over cooked pasta and stir through well together with freshly grated parmesan. This super-quick sauce is ideal with 'naked ravioli' (ravioli filling without the pasta) but is also suitable with any short pasta. In this case, drain the cooked pasta keeping back a little of the water. Return the pasta to the saucepan, add the sage and butter and stir over a low heat for a minute.
Remove from the heat and stir in a good helping of grated Parmesan.
The sauce should look smooth and creamy; if it has dried out too much, add a few drops of milk or fresh cream. Grind a little black pepper over when serving.
Enjoy!
