Agnolotti Dal Plin: Butter and Sage

Burro e salvia, or butter and sage, is one of the simplest sauces for stuffed pasta, and one of the best. Sage is one of my favourite herbs, reminding me of a kindly older lady in flavour — elegant, feminine, complex and slightly dusty. It marries beautifully with butter, especially when lightly caramelised, and together they act as an excellent foil to even the simplest of fillings.
