Quick and Easy Sauce for Fish or Pasta

This is one of the most basic sauces you can master in the kitchen. Simply browning butter gives you a nutty flavor that is excellent over a flaky white fish or a fresh pasta dish. Sage from the garden or the grocery store is ideal for giving this sauce its earthy finish.

Ingredients
8 ounces butter, unsalted
18 leaves sage, fresh
