Step 1
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add tortelli and cook until they float, then 1 minute more—about 4 minutes total.
Step 2
While tortelli cook, melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and cook 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 3
Add sage leaves to the skillet and cook until edges crisp and butter turns golden brown, about 2 minutes.
Step 4
Drain tortelli, reserving 1 cup pasta water. Transfer tortelli to the skillet with the brown butter.
Step 5
Toss gently to coat. Add a splash of pasta water if needed—sauce should be glossy, not soupy.
Step 6
Divide between bowls, top with parmesan and lemon zest. Season with salt and pepper.
