Fresh Sage

Fresh sage flavors the melted-butter dressing served with drained canederli in Trentino.

Italian name
Salvia fresca
Condiment
Butter and sage

At the table

Canederli need not arrive in broth. Drain the dumplings and dress them with butter cooked with sage leaves, then add grated grana.

Try this version when you want the dressing to sit on the dumplings rather than around them.
