Notes
- Use Fresh Sage: Fresh sage leaves provide the best flavor and texture for the brown butter sauce.
- Watch the Butter: Brown the butter over medium heat and watch closely to avoid burning. Look for a golden color and nutty aroma.
- Cook Ravioli Just Until Tender: This avoids them from breaking or becoming too soft in the sauce.
