Sage-Butter-Penne-Pasta-with-Prosciutto

The fresh ingredients in this penne pasta with sage butter and prosciutto will be at war with your taste buds to determine which is best.  The dish, while simple to make, has a very complex flavor with many layers to it.  The sage and butter are a beautiful combination and pack a powerful 1-2 punch.

Pasta-with-Prosciutto

Did I mention the butter sauteed onions?  I can’t think of many things that make a kitchen smell more pleasantly than sauteing onions (especially in butter).  And the butter onion sauce puts the copper cap on this very special recipe.

Penne-Prosciutto-Sage

This pasta recipe is not quite a cream base but it definitely has some good texture to it.  I would recommend a nice medium bodied red wine to pair with this pasta, you won’t be disappointed!
