HOW ABOUT A MEATLESS PASTA DISH FOR YOUR FRIDAY NIGHT DINNER?

 Award-winning romance and cookbook author, Sloane Taylor transports me back to happy memories of the inner-city neighborhood of my adolescence and my introduction to the vibrant Catholic culture of so many of my neighbors. Friday night dinners often featured an enormous bowl of a meatless pasta dish accompanied by a crispy vegetable salad slathered in olive oil and red wine vinegar and big loaves of crunchy Italian bread. There were times when I was privileged to be a guest at one of those lively dinner tables. Sloane Taylor’s pasta dish is one I highly recommend whether or not you are Catholic. –Linda Lee Greene

AWESOME PASTA DINNER

From Sloane Taylor, Author

My friend Vickie was a marvelous cook, but she never measured her ingredients. A handful of this a pinch of that was her method. And every dish was delicious. Vickie actually created this recipe, but left it to me for amounts. After years of indulging myself, I decided this one was the best. 

If you are inclined to fill out the menu, sautéed chicken breasts and a tomato salad go nicely with this dish. 

 

 

2 cups curly pasta

8 tbsp. (1 stick) butter, room temperature

6 – 10 sage leaves

Parmesan cheese, grated

Cook pasta according to package directions. Set aside while you make the sauce.

Melt butter in a small frying pan over medium heat.

Add sage. Allow butter to brown. Watch carefully and stir often as once this starts to brown it changes quickly. Cook until butter reaches a medium caramel color. Remove sage leaves and discard. 

Stir in pasta. Be sure to coat noodles well. Heat through.

 

May you enjoy all the days of your life filled with good friends, laughter, and seated around a well-laden table!
