Cooking tortellini according to package. I placed mine in boiling water for around 5-8 minutes until they were the texture that I liked.
Place your whole stick of butter in the pan on medium to high heat. Melt the butter entirely, then add your chopped sage. It may take a while but stir the melted butter until it starts to boil. It will make foam-like bubbles. Do not walk away from the butter; stir it constantly. The bubbling will stop, and the butter will start to slightly turn brown. Keep stirring. You will be able to start to smell the nutty butter and sage, and the sage it will turn crispy. Remove butter from pan and put it in a bowl. This will keep the butter from burning from residual heat.
Plate your pasta and pour butter sauce over it. Garnish with fresh sage leave and roasted pecans for texture. Enjoy!
