Tortellini With Sage Brown Butter Recipe

Ingredients

1 pound cheese tortellini, (fresh or frozen)

2 tablespoons butter

16 fresh sage leaves, thinly sliced

Coarse salt and ground pepper

In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook 1 pound cheese tortellini (fresh or frozen), according to package instructions; drain.

Meanwhile, in a small skillet over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons butter until light brown in color, with a nutty smell, 1 to 2 minutes.

Remove pan from heat. Add 16 fresh sage leaves, thinly sliced; fry (off heat) until crispy, about 1 minute.

Gently toss tortellini with brown-butter mixture. Season with coarse salt and ground pepper.
