Step 1
Bring a pot of salted water to a rolling boil.
Step 2
Add tortelli and cook until they float, then another minute—until edges look tender.
Step 3
While they cook, melt butter in a skillet over medium, add garlic and cook until fragrant, 30 seconds.
Step 4
Add sage leaves and let them crisp, stirring, until edges darken, about 1 minute.
Step 5
Drain tortelli, add to skillet, and gently toss until coated—butter should look foamy and nutty.
Step 6
Divide between bowls, grate lemon zest over top, finish with Parmigiano-Reggiano, squeeze lemon juice.
