I just found your wonderful sight; thanks for it. I recently ate in an excellent Calgary restaurant where they served a truffle and butter sauce over tagliatelle. I was searching for the recipe when I came across your site. Would the addition of truffles to your sage butter recipe work?

It is quite the miraculous combination. Enjoy!

I know this would taste fabulous. Sage-butter tastes so good with pasta!!!

Steven, that’s pretty funny. Tell your friend no worries — I know better than to foist my American health-nuttiness on him!

There really is nothing that compares with pasta, fresh herbs and good cheese. I was just in a very funny IM exchange with a friend in Italy, I was asking him to send me some seeds for agretti and nepetella and we somehow got onto the subject of whole wheat pasta. I recieved a very stern lecture about the pasta integrale and how I'd better not serve it to an Italian at all unless it was bigoli.

Kalyn, I used to stay away from whole wheat pasta, but now I almost never eat any other kind. I definitely recommend giving it a try!

This sounds just fabulous. I haven’t tried whole wheat pasta, but it would be perfect for my diet. And guess what!! I’ve eaten at i Ricci too! What a fabulous place it is. I do miss that great expense account eating in D.C. but my waistline is glad I’m not doing it any more.
