This indulgent dish elevates simple tagliatelle into a restaurant-quality experience. Rich, velvety heavy cream is gently warmed with butter and a splash of cognac, creating a decadent sauce that coats the pasta perfectly.

Fresh sage leaves infuse the sauce with an earthy aroma that balances the richness. It is an ideal choice for date nights, special celebrations, or when you want to treat yourself to something truly sophisticated. Serve immediately to enjoy the contrast between the warm, creamy noodles and the cool, salty roe.

Warm the cream mixture over low heat. Do not let it boil, as this may cause the cream to curdle.

Gently stir in the jarred caviar into the warm cream sauce.
-
Add the cognac to the saucepan and warm gently for about 2 minutes on low heat, ensuring the caviar does not overcook.

Note
Do not boil the caviar or the cream sauce vigorously, as high heat will toughen the roe and break the emulsion of the cream.
If you do not have fresh sage, dried sage powder works well, but use it sparingly as it is more concentrated.
This dish can be served as a luxurious starter for a fish dinner or as a standalone elegant main course.
Serve the grated cheese on the side so diners can add it to taste, preserving the delicate flavor of the caviar.
