  • 40 g melted butter

  • black pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Put a pan of water water on to boil for the pasta. Add salt when it starts to boil and bring to the boil again
  • Melt butter in a pan and add the sage leaves to it (the butter needs to foam)
  • Cook for just a short time, only enough to infuse the butter with the flavour of the sage.

Notes

Grated truffles are also a very popular and tasty addition to this dish. Grate the fresh truffle over the pasta just before serving!
