Butter & Sage Sauce over Pasta is a classic Italian dish that is easy to make and perfect for busy weeknights. The sauce is composed of brown butter and fresh sage leaves that are sautéed until the mixture develops a nutty aroma and fragrant flavor. The pasta is then cooked to al dente perfection and tossed in the sauce until it is evenly coated. To finish, the dish is garnished with grated parmigiano-reggiano cheese, which adds a salty and tangy flavor to the pasta. This dish is simple, yet delicious and can be enjoyed by all pasta lovers.

1.	Cook pasta according to package instructions until al dente.
2.	Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, melt butter over medium heat until it begins to foam and turn a light golden brown, stirring occasionally.
3.	Add the sage leaves and continue to cook until the sage leaves crisp up, about 2-3 minutes.
4.	Remove the sauce from heat and discard the sage leaves.
5.	Drain the pasta and add it to the butter saucepan, tossing until the sauce evenly coats the pasta.
6.	Serve the pasta with grated parmigiano-reggiano cheese on top.
