Tortellini With Garlic Sage Butter Sauce Recipes

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 GARLIC SAGE BUTTER SAUCE

Steps:

• In a medium frying pan, melt the butter over low heat. Add the garlic and cook, stirring occasionally and mashing the garlic with the back of a wooden spoon, until it is soft and golden, 10 to 12 minutes. Stir in the sage, salt, and pepper.
• In a large pot of boiling, salted water, cook the tortellini until just done, about 4 minutes for fresh and 12 minutes for frozen. Drain the pasta and return to the pot.
• Add the butter and parsley and toss over low heat until the pasta is thoroughly coated with the butter, about 1 minute.
