Preparation
Mise en place
- Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil.
- Cut the radishes into ½ inch wedges.
- Thinly slice the celery crosswise on an angle.
- Pick the sage leaves off the stems; thinly slice the leaves.
Boil the pasta
- Add the pasta to the pot of boiling water; stir gently to separate.
- Boil, stirring occasionally, 4 to 6 min., until al dente.
- Reserving ½ cup cooking water (double for 4 portions), drain and toss with a drizzle of oil to prevent sticking.
Make the sauce
- Meanwhile, in a large pan, heat 4 tbsp butter (double for 4 portions) on medium-high.
- Cook, swirling the pan often, 2 to 3 min., until the butter foams and turns a deep golden brown.
- Add the garlic and sage (be careful as it can splatter). Cook, stirring often, 30 sec. to 1 min., until fragrant.
- Add the cream and ½ the reserved cooking water; bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer.
Combine the pasta
- To the pan of sauce, add the pasta and ½ the cheese.
- Cook, stirring often, 2 to 3 min., until combined; season with ¾ of the spices and S&P.
- If the sauce seems dry, gradually add the remaining cooking water until you achieve your desired consistency.
Make the salad & serve
- In a large bowl, combine the vinegar, 2 tbsp oil (double for 4 portions), the remaining spices and S&P.
- Add the baby greens, celery and radishes; toss well.
- Divide the pasta between your plates.
- Garnish with the remaining cheese.
- Serve the salad on the side. Bon appétit!
