Steps:

• 1. Bring 6 quarts of water to a boil in a spaghetti pot and add 2 tbsp. of salt
• 2. Place butter and sage in a 10-12 inch saute pan over medium-high heat and cook until butter turns golden brown and spatters a bit.

TORTELLINI WITH BROWN BUTTER AND SAGE SAUCE

Steps:

• If possible, use fresh sage and freshly grated Parmesan to heighten the flavor of this dish. Makes a huge difference!
• Cook cheese tortellini according to package instructions; drain. (You can start on the sauce while the tortellini is cooking).
• Heat butter over medium heat in a large skillet. Add sage and slowly cook butter until it begins to brown. (It's okay if the sage darkens and gets crunchy).
• Remove from heat; add the hot tortellini. Stir to coat; add parmesan cheese, salt and pepper and toss. (If you choose to add sun-dried tomatoes, add them in with the cheese, salt, and pepper before tossing.).

TORTELLINI WITH FRESH SAGE BUTTER

Steps:

• Wash sage and dry well. Remove 6 leaves and cut into very fine julienne. Coarsely chop enough sage to get 1/2 packed cup.
• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add tortellini and cook until al dente, about 8 minutes.
• Melt 6 tablespoons butter in a large nonstick skillet. Add chopped sage, a pinch of salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Cook over medium heat until butter just begins to brown and bubble; the sage should get crispy.
• Drain tortellini in a colander, saving 1/4 cup cooking water. Immediately put pasta in a large warm bowl, adding remaining butter. Toss with melted butter-sage mixture and add enough cooking water to make a smooth sauce. Add salt and pepper to taste and sprinkle with julienned sage. Divide immediately among warm pasta bowls.
