Sea salt - for the pasta water

Saffron Malloreddus Pasta with Butter, Sage and Parmigiano-Reggiano Recipe

4-6 servings

This is an adaption of Marcella's "Butter and Parmisan Cheese Sauce" by adding fresh sage. Marcella would make this dish in a well warmed mixing bowl. We suggest making it in a sauce pan.

directions:
1. Add pasta to a pot of boiling, well-salted water. Cook until al dente - about 10 minutes  

2. While pasta is cooking, put butter in a large skillet and place on medium-low to medium heat. When the butter foam subsides, and the butter is a golden yellow (but not yet brown,) add the sage leaves. Cook for another few seconds, turning the sage leaves over once.

3. Add freshly cooked, al dente pasta to the pan and toss well. Add the grated cheese and toss some more. Continue to mix until the cheese melts and clings nicely to the pasta. If pasta is still dry, add a little of the reserved pasta water and continue to mix on the heat until it looks right. Should look creamy, but not "saucy".

4. Serve with more grated cheese on the side.
