Last night, I made a dish that’s so simple, but tastes sophisticated… cheese ravioli (frozen from Fino’s) with brown butter and sage. I love when those fragrant leaves get kind of crunchy when you let them bubble in the butter.
I used to have a few books that promised great meals with three or five or seven ingredients… why, oh why no even numbers?? But I found that those involved opening a lot of cans.
Does anybody have a good source for quick/elegant dishes made with a minimalist approach?

Can you share specific directions for this dish? I’ve got a sage plant growing out of control, but I don’t really know what to do with it!

Leslie, you might take a look at this. Almost all of the ingredients called for are fresh rather than canned.
