Everyone needs a quick mid-week pasta recipe right? It’s simple, it’s quick, and it’s exactly what we need to make it through the week!

If by chance you have never smelled the fragrant aroma of brown butter filling the air, this recipe may be exactly what you need to step into the arms of fall.

Then, you have to take it a step further and toss in some fresh aromatic sage leaves, mushrooms, and garlic…oh goodness, fall here we come! I wouldn’t be surprised if this dish makes you want to run in and throw on your fuzzy sweater!

Making Brown Butter
Is brown butter hard to make? Nope! It’s pretty simple actually, just don’t walk away from it. You don’t want burnt butter, just brown butter!
All you do is heat your skillet (I like to use an iron skillet) over medium heat. Place your butter in and allow it to melt. Keep an eye on it, it’s best not to walk away to avoid how it can quickly turn from brown butter to burnt butter! Stir the butter frequently. It will start to look foamy and brown bits will form and it will get a nutty smell. Next, you’re going to toss in your sage leaves, mushrooms, and lastly garlic! By now your house should be smelling like a five-star restaurant!

Lastly, I like to use a spaghetti server and ladle out the cooked pasta from the water and toss it with the brown butter, sage, and mushrooms! Add a little grated parmesan cheese and an extra drizzle of olive oil if you fancy that. Just like that, you have a simple, surprisingly quick but elegant meal.
Serve with a side salad and some homemade Crusty Artisan Bread! If you aren’t a mushroom lover, this dish may just change your mind!

Can you use dried sage in this recipe instead?

I’m sorry I missed this. Dried sage would not be the same in this recipe. You can get fresh sage at almost all grocery stores in the produce section!

My computer monitor started flickering today so I had to switch to my phone for everything while I wait for a replacement. I was looking for a site that was perfectly optimized for a small screen and didn’t look messy. I checked out Kudos Casino and the mobile version was actually very impressive and fast. In Australia they offer some great daily perks and a very simple registration process that I really liked. It was a fun way to use my phone and I enjoyed the variety.

I really wanted floor seats for the concert at Rogers Arena but they were sold out instantly. I bought them from a reseller using the profit I made at Galactic Casino over the weekend session. The crypto withdrawal speed is unmatched for Canadians who need liquid cash fast for big purchases on short notice. Get the best view in the house by winning the money for it this second.
