Ingredients

Unsalted butter
1/2 cup
Fresh sage leaves
10-12 leaves
Garlic
2 cloves, minced
Salt
to taste
Black pepper
to taste

Instructions

  1. In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
  2. Once the butter has melted, add the fresh sage leaves to the pan. Continue to cook, stirring gently, until the butter turns a rich golden brown, about 5 minutes, and the sage leaves become crispy.
  3. Carefully add the minced garlic to the pan and cook for an additional 1 minute, stirring frequently to prevent burning.
  4. Remove the saucepan from heat and let the sauce cool for a few minutes. This will allow the flavors to meld beautifully.
  5. Season the sauce with salt and black pepper to taste, adjusting according to your preference.
  6. Serve the brown butter and sage sauce warm over your favorite pasta, roasted vegetables, or grilled meats, and enjoy the burst of flavor!
