步驟

Make sure you check out my notes and photos above, it's all useful info I promise! There is a handy video below too.

Melt the butter in a frypan over medium heat and when it just starts to sizzle, throw your sage leaves in.

Continue cooking the butter, swirling the pan so it cooks evenly.

The butter will create big bubbles and crackle quite loudly. Feel free to turn the heat down if you think it is cooking too quickly.

The bubbles and noise will subside and then it will start to foam on the top.

Keep swirling the pan so you can see what is going on under the foam. It will take about 5 minutes.

We are looking for the specks on the bottom to be brown NOT black. Keep in mind it will continue to cook when you take it off the heat.

As soon as you see the specks at the bottom turn brown, take it off the heat and serve immediately.

I like to gently spoon the butter over the pasta and then skim the foam off the top of the pan to layer onto the pasta too. It's all about those foamy bubbles!
