Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Toast pine nuts in a large skillet over medium heat, shaking often, until light golden and fragrant, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a plate.

  2. Step 2

    Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add tortelli and cook until they float and stay floating, 3-4 minutes. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta water before draining.

  3. Step 3

    Return skillet to medium heat. Add butter and sage leaves. Stir constantly until butter turns golden brown and smells nutty, about 2 minutes.

  4. Step 4

    Add cooked tortelli to the brown butter. Gently toss, adding pasta water a splash at a time until the sauce coats the pasta lightly.

  5. Step 5

    Divide tortelli between plates. Scatter pine nuts and salad greens over top. Grate Parmigiano over everything and squeeze lemon juice across the plate.
