6 tablespoons butter
6 cloves garlic, smashed
1/2 teaspoon ground sage
1 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon fresh-ground black pepper
2 tablespoons chopped flat leaf parsley
- In a medium frying pan, melt the butter over low heat. Add the garlic and cook, stirring occasionally and mashing the garlic with the back of a wooden spoon, until it is soft and golden, 10 to 12 minutes. Stir in the sage, salt, and pepper.
- In a large pot of boiling, salted water, cook the tortellini until just done, about 4 minutes for fresh and 12 minutes for frozen. Drain the pasta and return to the pot.
- Add the butter and parsley and toss over low heat until the pasta is thoroughly coated with the butter, about 1 minute.

Tortellini with Garlic Sage Butter Sauce Recipe on Yahoo! Food
Note: I used 1 and 1/2 TSP of garlic powder instead of fresh garlic. It would probably taste better with real garlic but it tasted amazing still. (:
Note: It's good with ANY type of pasta, but the recipe calls for Tortellini. I used macaroni.
