Brown Butter Sage Pasta Sauce
Brown Butter Sage Pasta Sauce is the perfect weeknight dinner because the sauce is made in under 10 minutes, literally! Your kitchen will also smell absolutely wonderful. I made this with homemade pasta but of course, use any pasta your family loves and adores. You can serve the sauce and pasta on their own or add shrimp, chicken or steak.
