super simple pasta

pasta with sage and brown butter

1. rough cut a handful of sage and some garlic

2. boil some spaghetti (or some bucatini if you can find it) until al dente

3. heat a couple tablespoons of good butter in a shallow pan until it starts to brown; wilt the sage and garlic in the butter for a minute or two

4. transfer the pasta (with some of the pasta water still clinging to it) into the pan with the butter and sage; toss this around for a minute; loosen it if it's too dry with a couple spoonfuls of the pasta water

5. add some fresh black pepper

6. top with parmesan just before removing to a plate
