Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter 2 sticks
- 14 fresh sage leaves
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- 2 tablespoons finely diced shallot
For serving:
- 1 package butternut squash ravioli (or pasta, chicken or vegetables)
Instructions
- If you're serving this ravioli, cook the ravioli according to package directions. While the ravioli is cooking, make the butter sage sauce.
- Place a heavy bottomed saucepan on the stove.
- Cut butter into 1 tablespoon chunks. Place the butter in the saucepan and set stovetop to medium heat. Allow the butter to melt, stirring often so that it melts evenly. 1 cup unsalted butter
- Once the butter is melted, set a timer for 5 minutes and allow the butter to simmer. Stir occasionally.
- After 5 minutes, add the sage, minced garlic and diced shallot. Stir gently. 14 fresh sage leaves, 2 garlic cloves, 2 tablespoons finely diced shallot
- Allow this to simmer together for about 5 minutes. The sage will start to get crispy and the garlic & onion browned.
- If you start to see little brown specks on the bottom of the pan, these are the milk solids. Don’t stir the pan at this point.
- After 5 minutes, remove the butter sauce from the heat and pour it into another bowl so it doesn’t get too browned.
- Drizzle the sauce over the cooked ravioli or other pasta, savory pumpkin dishes, chicken or vegetables. Add salt as needed.
- It's also delicious served with crusty bread.
