Ingredients

Pasta

1 lb Pasta, any kind

Sauce

1 stick Butter
6 Fresh Sage or Tarragon Leaves, torn
1/8 teaspoon Italian Seasoning
Black Pepper, freshly ground
Parmesan Cheese, for garnish

Instructions

Prepare about a pound of your favorite pasta according to the package instructions. You may want to save a bit of the pasta cooking water to help the sauce stick to the pasta.
Add butter to a saucepan and set the stove to medium high heat. Keep stirring the butter until it turns a light brown color. Browning the butter will give it a nutty flavor.
Next, place the fresh sage leaves in the butter, allowing the flavors to infuse in the sauce for about a minute.
Immediately remove the pan from the heat and add Italian seasoning plus a bit of freshly ground black pepper to the sauce.
Use tongs to incorporate the pasta and sauce, adding a bit of the pasta cooking water if necessary.
Top with some parmesan cheese, serve and enjoy.
