Fettuccine with Brown Butter and Sage

This elegant fettuccine with brown butter and sage is a masterclass in using a few high-quality ingredients to create a deeply comforting meal. The star of this vegetarian dish is the 'beurre noisette', where butter is gently heated until it develops a rich, toasted aroma and a beautiful amber hue. Fragrant sage leaves are fried in this golden liquid until crisp, providing a delicate crunch that perfectly complements the silky, wide ribbons of egg pasta.

Ideal for a quick midweek treat or a sophisticated weekend supper, this recipe relies on pantry staples and fresh herbs for its complex flavour profile. The addition of savoury stock and aged Parmesan creates a luxurious emulsion that clings to the fettuccine. Serve this dish in warmed bowls with an extra grating of cheese for a truly authentic Italian-inspired dining experience at home.
