Tips

• Watch the butter carefully to avoid burning it once it starts to brown.
• Fresh sage really shines in this recipe, but dried can be used in a pinch (use 1 tablespoon dried sage).

Storage

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in a skillet over low heat to revive the sauce.

Serving Suggestions

• Pair with a crisp green salad for a balanced meal.
• A glass of Pinot Grigio complements the flavors beautifully.
