"Gushers" are quickly-digested carbohydrates that cause a rapid rise in blood glucose and fuel appetite.
"Tricklers" are slowly-digested carbohydrates that are slowly released into the bloodstream and sustain satiety."

After the holidays we all want to slow down and take it easy. That goes for our poor stomachs too! All those parties and family gatherings have kept them on work overload. Here is a terrific tasting pasta dish that is easy to make and just as easy to digest. Buon appetito e Buon Anno!
Serving size: 4 cups. Serves 4.

Ingredients
8 oz 100% semolina fettuccine (or pappardelle) nests (8 nests)

Directions
1. Slowly melt butter in a small sauce pan. Shake or stir the pan to allow the butter to melt evenly. A foam will form and when the butter starts turning brown (approx. 3 ½ minutes), remove it from the heat.
2. Add in the lemon juice, sage, salt and pepper. Keep warm.
3.
In the meantime, cook the noodles according to package directions. Cooking time should between 6-8 minutes. Drain the noodles, return them to the pot, pour over the sauce and mix thoroughly. Serve with grated cheese.
Note: Since sage is the primary contributing flavor in this recipe, using the fresh herb is strongly recommended. Fresh rosemary may be substituted for sage.
