Sage sauce

By Food E Fare

Sage sauce, also known as sage butter sauce, is a simple yet flavorful sauce made with butter and fresh sage leaves. It is often used as a drizzle or accompaniment for pasta dishes, particularly those featuring filled pasta like ravioli or tortellini. Sage sauce adds a rich and aromatic element to the dish, complementing the savory flavors of the pasta. Here's a basic recipe for sage sauce:


Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
  • Fresh sage leaves (about 10-12 leaves)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: Grated Parmesan cheese for serving


Instructions:


Melt Butter:

  • In a skillet or saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat.

Add Sage Leaves:

  • Once the butter is melted, add the fresh sage leaves to the pan. Allow them to cook in the butter until they become crispy and fragrant. This usually takes 1-2 minutes.

Season:

  • Season the sage sauce with salt and pepper to taste. Adjust the seasoning according to your preference.

Remove from Heat:

  • Once the sage leaves are crispy and the butter has taken on the sage flavor, remove the saucepan from the heat.

Serve:

  • Drizzle the sage sauce over your cooked pasta, particularly dishes with filled pasta like ravioli or tortellini. Toss the pasta gently to coat it with the sage butter.

Optional: Parmesan Cheese:

  • If desired, you can sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the pasta before serving. The combination of sage, butter, and Parmesan creates a delicious flavor profile.


Note:


Sage sauce is appreciated for its simplicity and the way it enhances the natural flavors of the pasta. It is a popular choice for fall and winter dishes, and the earthy aroma of fresh sage adds a delightful touch to the overall dining experience. Sage sauce can also be used with other dishes, such as roasted vegetables or grilled meats, to impart its distinctive flavor.
