Melt the butter in a medium saucepan set over low-medium heat. When butter begins to get just slightly bubbly, add the chopped garlic clove.
Stir the garlic in the butter for 1 minute.
Add the chopped sage to the garlic butter and continue stirring and cooking the mixture for 1 to 2 additional minutes, until the butter has turned very light brown and has a rich, nutty aroma.
Season with the black pepper.
Recipe Notes
This can be used for sauteing any kind of meat and/or vegetables, and is great over cooked pasta with some grated Parmesan!
