Ingredients

  • 1 stick unsalted butter ½ cup
  • 6 fresh sage leaves
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • ½ cup freshly shredded Parmesan cheese
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon nutmeg

Instructions

  • Melt the butter in a pan over medium heat, adding the sage leaves as it melts.
  • Cook until the butter begins to darken and develop a nutty aroma, about 3-4 minutes.
  • Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes, or until fragrant.
  • Reduce heat to low, then stir in the heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, salt, black pepper, and nutmeg.
  • Cook, stirring frequently, until the sauce thickens and becomes bubbly, about 3-5 minutes.
  • Remove from heat and serve immediately over butternut squash ravioli.

Notes

  • Allow the cream to sit at room temperature for a bit before using to avoid separation.
  • Keep a close watch on the butter and sage as they cook to ensure the butter doesn’t burn.
  • The sauce can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days
  • Reheat gently over low heat, adding a splash of cream if needed to loosen the sauce.
