    Method

    1. Melt the butter in a frying pan over a medium heat. Add the sage leaves and fry for 4-5 minutes until the sage is crisp and the butter has turned a nut-brown colour.
    2. Meanwhile, divide the salad between 2 plates and cook the filled pasta to pack instructions. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the pasta to the plates, then spoon over the brown butter and sage leaves. Finish with grated pecorino to serve.
