How to use up leftover fresh sage

• Crispy garnish. Fry a handful of fresh sage leaves in a generous knob of butter. Season, then spoon over fried or poached eggs on toast.
• Herby bean stew. Fry pancetta cubes until golden, then add roughly chopped fresh sage leaves and continue to cook for 2 minutes. Stir in cooked butter/cannellini beans to warm through and finish with a squeeze of lemon.
• Italian tomato sauce. Use fresh sage leaves instead of basil in a traditional tomato sauce for pasta. It’s great baked in pasta shells topped with ricotta and parmesan too.
