• 1/2 lb pasta of choice (I like fettuccine or linguini for this one)

• 4 T butter

• 4-5 fresh sage leaves

• 1 T fresh lemon juice

• 1/2 tsp salt

• 1/4 cup grated parmesan

Instructions

1. Boil water. Salt boiling water generously. Drain, reserving 1/2 cup pasta water.

2. Cook pasta according to package directions.

3. In a medium skillet over medium heat, melt butter. Add whole sage leaves and cook until butter begins to brown and sage becomes almost crispy fried. This takes approx 5-7 minutes.

4. Stir in lemon juice and salt.

5. Add pasta into skillet and toss in butter.

6. Add in pasta water and simmer over medium-low until water is absorbed.

7. Sprinkle the top with grated parmesan.

*Notes:

Can serve with the whole sage leaves on top or on the side so your kiddo can see and smell it separately before tasting.
