I found the secret to a golden Sage Butter Sauce quite by accident. Sage butter sauce was a bit of a mystery as I never knew how to get that golden color of sauce around ravioli before trying this method. I was really trying to make a butter sauce that retained its hazy just “melty” buttery look. I am sill looking for the butter sauce that remains hazy but in the meantime, the golden color butter sauce is great and will work as a last minute recipe.
