A fall favorite in our house, this sage-butter mushroom sauce pairs perfectly well with the fettuccine. I like to toss the creamy sage-butter mushroom sauce with fresh fettuccine, whenever I can grab hold of some. But the creamy sage-butter mushroom sauce is gratifying with any kind of pasta, fresh or dried.
I have been trying to grow sage in my garden for years now. But the extreme temperatures of our semi-arid region never seem to co-operate with my efforts, until recently. My sage plant has found that perfect spot in the garden where it has been growing happily. And I hope this happiness lasts ever after. For I love sage and I want it to find a permanent home in my garden. Its woodsy, musty scent permeates through my whole garden.
The earthy aroma of fresh sage complements the hearty mushroom sauce with butter, wine and cream. It is so delicious, I could eat it all by itself. But toss it with some fettuccine and you have a satisfying bowl of pasta. No extra grating of cheese required. And you will find yourself going for seconds.
