You can also use this method for our brown butter pancakes or brown butter banana bread! Brown butter, garlic, and sage work beautifully complemented by lemon zest to brighten. Mix up a batch for a deliciously cozy meal.

The best use is with gnocchi or ravioli. We made ours with 1 pound packaged gnocchi and loved it. You can also use any filling style of ravioli (bonus points for butternut squash, though). A secondary use is tortellini. This works with 18 ounces of your favorite refrigerated tortellini or tortelloni. Keep in mind that this is fresh filled pasta, so the weight does not correspond to dry. Do not use dried tortellini here. Avoid using dry pasta like spaghetti, penne, etc. This browned butter sage sauce gets lost on dry pasta, unless you use large quantities of the butter sauce. We prefer it with a filled fresh pasta or gnocchi.
Make Homemade Tomato Sauce or Pomodoro Sauce Mix up Sun Dried Tomato Cream Sauce (perfect for pasta!) Go creamy with Tzatziki Sauce, Buffalo Ranch, or Garlic Aioli Try zingy Lemon Pepper Sauce, Lemon Butter Sauce, or Lemon Caper Sauce Go for rich and tasty Garlic Butter Sauce or Lemon Garlic Butter Sauce
