Ingredients
- ½ pounds Tortellini
- 8 Tablespoons Butter
- 3 whole Fresh Sage Leaves
- 8 ounces, weight Mascarpone Cheese
- ½ teaspoons Salt
- ½ teaspoons Pepper
- 1 Tablespoon Lemon Zest
- ½ cups Parmesan Cheese
Preparation Instructions
Prepare tortellini according to package directions.
In a medium-sized pan, brown the butter with the sage leaves. Do not leave this unattened as it quickly turns from golden brown to burnt. It takes about 4 minutes on my stove to brown beautifully on medium high heat. Add mascarpone, salt, pepper, and lemon zest and cook for about 5 more minutes.
Mix your sauce with the tortellini and finish with grated Parmesan cheese. Enjoy with wine and bread.
