Tortellini with Brown Butter and Sage
One of our favorite vegetarian dishes, this brown butter pasta meal can be thrown together in about 15 minutes. (Brown butter is butter that has been cooked over medium-low heat until it turns a deep amber color.) This recipe is simple, light, and very convenient.
