sage butter

Aromatic brown sauce

Sage butter is butter infused with sage, typically made by browning butter in a pan and crisping fresh sage leaves in it.

The combination is a classic Italian preparation, most often served over pasta, gnocchi, or ravioli: butternut squash ravioli with sage butter.

The nutty, toasted flavor of browned butter pairs naturally with the earthy herb.
