Pasta with butter and sage
The simplest of pasta dishes
Servings: 2
Calories: 768kcal
Equipment
- Large saucepan
- Wide, shallow pan
Ingredients
- 220 g dried pasta your choice (I like risoni or any ‘short’ pasta best)
- 120 g butter
- 10 small sage leaves
- 70 g Parmesan grated, plus extra to serve
- sea salt
Method
- Bring a large saucepan of well-salted water to the boil. Drop in the pasta.
- Place the butter in a wide, shallow pan and put on the lowest heat. Add the sage and cook for a moment or so to gently to release the aromas. Drain the pasta when it is at your perfect al dente, reserving a cup of the cooking liquid.
- Add half the cooking water and the pasta to the pan with the butter and sage and turn up the heat. Stir and toss well for a minute or so, then add the cheese and toss again and again, until an emulsified and silky sauce forms. If it looks too dry, add more of the cooking water, too wet, carry on cooking. Serve with more cheese.
