Step-by-Step Recipe and Hacks
This sage pasta recipe is incredibly quick and easy. The main ingredient is fresh sage leaves. Let’s go over what you’ll need to make it.
Ingredients:
- Tagliatelle
- Olive oil
- Butter
- Sage leaves
- Pine nuts
- Cherry tomatoes
- Sun-dried tomatoes
- Lemon juice
Start with chopping sun-dried tomatoes. Halve cherry tomatoes. Wash and dry sage leaves. We will fry sage leaves in a lot of oil and butter. That’s why they have to be completely dry. Add vegetable oil and butter to a pan. Fry sage leaves. You can keep frying longer and add more ingredients to a dish by combining butter and oil. If you only use butter, it burns quickly. Remove sage leaves as they get crispy. Keep them for later. We will add them to pasta.
Next, fry pine nuts in butter and oil sauce. Add sun-dried tomatoes and cherry tomatoes. Finally, add cooked pasta, lemon juice, pasta water, and sage leaves. Stir constantly and fry for 2-3 minutes. This way, all the flavors combine. Serve and sprinkle with your favorite cheese.
The list of ingredients in this recipe is short. The cooking time is around 15-20 minutes. Enjoy fragrant pasta with a warm and savory flavor!
How to Make Sage Sauce?
This delicious pasta sauce with sage takes only 10 minutes to make. Cook it at the same time as you cook pasta. This way, you’ll save some time in the kitchen.
The main ingredients of sage sauce are sage leaves, butter, and oil. Before frying, wash and dry sage leaves with a paper towel. Add oil and butter to a pan. After the butter melts, add sage leaves. When the leaves become crispy, transfer them to a plate. Fry pine nuts, sun-dried tomatoes, and cherry tomatoes in butter oil sauce. Add cooked pasta, lemon juice, and a little pasta water. And sage leaves that you saved for later. That’s it. Delicious pasta with sage sauce is ready!
Best Pasta to Use for Pasta Recipes with Sage
You can use different types of pasta to make sage pasta. It’s especially delicious with filled pasta types. Like tortelloni, ravioli, and sacchetti. Delicious sage butter sauce enhances the taste of filling. What can be better than to put savory and buttery pasta into your mouth, bite it, and discover a second taste? We recommend filled pasta with cheese, especially ricotta. The combination of earthy sage with soft cheese is incredibly delicious. Or pasta filled with pumpkin. Slightly sweet pumpkin combines so well with melted butter and minty sage flavor.
If you don’t have filled pasta at hand, use tagliatelle. We chose it for this recipe, too. Its flat and long ribbons are perfect because a lot of sauce can stick to it. Tagliatelle soaks a creamy, buttery sage sauce so easily. We added sun-dried tomatoes, pine nuts, and cherry tomatoes to enrich the flavor.
Crispy, Quick and Easy
Do you love quick pasta recipes as we do? This delicious sage butter pasta with pine nuts will be your new favorite dish. The best thing about this recipe is that you can combine it with any pasta you like. Or any pasta you have at home.
The pasta is buttery and soft but doesn’t contain any cream cheese. The main ingredient that gives so much flavor to a sauce is sage. Fry sage leaves in butter and olive oil until they are crispy. Be careful, and don’t overcook the sage leaves. As they get crispy, remove them from a pan. Save them for later – as soon as the dish is almost ready, you can add sage leaves again. This way, sage leaves stay crispy, and you can cook the rest of the ingredients in the aromatic sauce. Remember that the dish can get bitter if you use too much sage. Stick to the measurements in this recipe. And use just the right amount to get a flavorful pasta.
More Quick Pasta Recipes
What can be better than a quick dinner with pasta and your favorite sauce? Only a quick lasagna soup! You need less time to prepare it in comparison to classic lasagna. But soup tastes the same as delicious! Craving cold and refreshing noodles? Go for noodle salad. Don’t skip the dressing. It’s the best about this recipe. You can use it for other pasta salads, too.
