Ingredients

Serves 4
1 lb. bucatini pasta
3/4 lb. salted butter
Juice of one lemon
1 tbsp. capers
1/2 C chopped walnuts

Prepare the pasta.

In medium saucepan, brown the butter (10 minutes) being careful not to burn. When butter is a nice amber color, reduce heat and add lemon juice to stop browning.

Add walnuts and capers and cook for a minute or two, allowing flavors to infuse the butter.

Add spinach and sage and allow to wilt.

Add drained pasta and toss with Parmesan.

Pretty simple and tasty recipe. May try with less butter next time as 3/4 lb is A LOT of butter. Used a large lemon and that may have been too much juice.
