  1. Boil a large pot of water for pasta. Slice scallopini in half and place 2 sage leaves on top of each piece. Wrap scallopini with prosciutto. Heat a large frying pan over medium-high. When hot, add 1 tbsp oil, then add scallopini. Cook 2 min. Turn over and cook until lightly golden, about 2 more min. Remove scallopini and cover to keep warm.
  2. Meanwhile, cook pasta until just tender, about 3 min. Pour 1/3 cup wine and 1/2 cup broth into scallopini pan. Boil for 2 min. Whisk in 2 tbsp cubed cold butter. Drain pasta and toss in pan with sauce. Sprinkle with pepper.
  • Serving Tip:

    Any flat, wide pasta works well with this luscious sauce. We used pappardelle.

  • Wine Pairing:

    Masi Tupungato Passo Doble (Argentina, $14) An earthy, passionate red just made for sharing. Complex and vibrant, with deep, mouth-filling black currant, vanilla, and tobacco flavours.
