Spinach Tortollini With Sage
- 1 package of ready to cook spinach and cheese tortollini
- 1 cup (packed) fresh sage, chopped
- 1/2 stick of butter (I use salted)
- extra virgin olive oil to taste/consistency wished
- 1/2 cup freshly grated parmesan reggiano cheese (or your favorite hard cheese to grate)
- salt and pepper to taste.
- extra sage and parmesan for garnish
- boil salted water and prepare tortollinis per package instruction. DONT OVERCOOK OR IT WILL BE TOO MUSHY
- meanwhile, melt the butter in a ten inch saute pan till foamy. Add sage and saute until just wilted and aromatic. Remove from heat.
- Drain the pasta and place in a roomy pasta bowl. Immediately top with the sage/butter sauce. Toss lightly. Add olive oil to taste/consistency and add the cheese. Toss again with salt and freshly ground pepper to taste.
- Serve warm or at room temperature... never cold, it doesnt last long enough for leftovers...
- Garnish with sage leaves and extra cheese.
