Citrusy pasta sauce

I thought about cooking something special for the crayfish and crab tortellini i got from waitrose as an Easter treat and came up with the below:

a teaspoon of lemon rind
juice from a squeezed lemon
cooking cream
garlic
sage (i had dried)

Infuse some good olive oil and butter with crushed garlic in a pan and then discard the garlic. Add the cream, lemon rind and sage and slowly simmer. When nearly done, add the juice and salt & pepper.

it is pure yumminess
