Servings 4 | Prep Time 10 minutes | Cook Time 20 minutes

Ingredients

• 12 oz Mountain High Organics Penne Pasta
• 2 tbsp unsalted butter
• 8–10 fresh sage leaves, plus extra for garnish
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup heavy cream
• ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
• ¼ tsp black pepper
• ½ tsp sea salt
• ¼ cup reserved pasta water
• Freshly cracked black pepper, for serving

Directions

1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the Mountain High Organics Penne Pasta according to package directions until al dente. Reserve ¼ cup of the pasta water, then drain.
2. While the pasta cooks, melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sage leaves and cook for 1–2 minutes until fragrant and lightly crisp.
3. Add the garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds, stirring frequently.
4. Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Reduce heat to low and stir in the Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper until the sauce is smooth and creamy.
5. Add the cooked penne to the skillet and toss until evenly coated. If needed, add reserved pasta water a tablespoon at a time to reach your desired consistency.
6. Divide among serving bowls and garnish with additional sage leaves and freshly cracked black pepper.

Recipe Tip

For extra flavor, brown the butter before adding the sage leaves. The nutty richness pairs beautifully with the creamy Parmesan sauce and creates an elegant finishing touch.
