Tortellini With Pumpkin Sage Butter Recipes

PUMPKIN TORTELLINI WITH BROWN BUTTER AND SAGE

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil with a perforated pasta insert and add a generous pinch of salt. Once the water is boiling, add the tortellini, stir, and cover. This will take about 5-6 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat a large sauté pan over medium heat. When the pan is hot, add the butter. When light smoke appears, add the chicken stock to stop the browning of the butter. Then, add the sage and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Simmer for 2 minutes to allow the herbs and butter to marry.
• By now the tortellini should be ready. Remove the lid. Pull up on the handles and allow the water to drain right back into the pot. When completely drained, pour the tortellini into the butter-sage sauce and simmer for 1 minute. Add parsley and toss. Now you're ready to plate the pasta. Grate the pecorino directly over each plate and then drizzle with a little of the granulated honey.

TORTELLINI WITH PUMPKIN, BROWN BUTTER AND SAGE

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 180°C/160°C fan/gas 4. Put the pumpkin on a large baking tray with the thyme sprigs and sprinkle with the olive oil. Season generously with sea salt and ground black pepper, then roast in the oven for 40 minutes or until tender and caramelised at the edges. Once cooked, keep warm.
• Towards the end of the pumpkin cooking time, bring a large pan of water to the boil and season generously with salt. Once boiling, add the tortellini and cook until tender but still with some bite. Drain and reserve a cup of the starchy cooking water to use in the sauce.
• While the pasta cooks, put a large heavy-based frying pan over a low-medium heat and add the butter. Add the hazelnuts to the pan, tossing to coat them evenly in the warm butter. Cook for 4-5 minutes until the hazelnuts have toasted. Stir in the sage leaves and allow to toast in the golden butter mix.
• Toss the roasted pumpkin and tortellini into the pan, adding a splash of reserved pasta cooking water to loosen, if needed.
• Serve the pasta on warmed plates. Crumble over some blue cheese along with a generous drizzle of the best quality extra virgin olive oil you have to hand. Finish with a sprinkle of salt and a grinding of black pepper.

PUMPKIN TORTELLINI

Steps:

• In saute pan, melt the butter with a pinch of pepper, the sage, and mascarpone. Add heavy cream and reduce to a thick sauce, about 10 minutes. While the sauce is reducing, boil the pasta. Drain and add to the sauce. Toss the pasta in the sauce over low heat until the pasta is well coated. Add the cheese and salt and pepper, to taste.

TORTELLINI WITH SAGE BROWN BUTTER

Steps:

• 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.

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.

Steps:

• 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.).
