Serves 4

Cook Time: 20 minutes

Prep Time: 15 minutes


Ingredients

  • 150 g unsalted butter diced
  • 1/2 cup fresh sage leaves
  • 500 g Swiss brown mushrooms sliced
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 3 cloves garlic crushed
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili flakes (optional)
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese finely grated
  • salt flakes & freshly ground black pepper

 

To serve with

  • 500 g dried Parpadelle
  • Extra Parmesan cheese for garnish

Method

  • Cook pasta following pack instructions. Drain, reserving ½ cup cooking water.
  • Meanwhile, melt 100g butter in a large saute pan over a medium heat until it bubbles and the milk solids turn a golden colour and release a nutty aroma.
  • Add sage leaves to pan in small batches, frying for about 1 minute and turning during cooking. Remove from pan with a slotted spoon and repeat process until all leaves are cooked. Set aside until required.
  • Add mushrooms and lemon juice to the same pan, stirring until well coated in butter. Cover and cook for 5 minutes or until mushrooms collapse and release their juices. Add garlic, chili, salt and pepper and cook for a further 2 minutes.
  • Add hot pasta, remaining butter, parmesan and reserved cooking water to the pan, tossing gently until parmesan has melted and pasta is coated in a silky sauce.
  • Serve pasta topped with crispy fried sage leaves and extra parmesan and chili (if desired).
