Step 1
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add tortelli and stir once to prevent sticking.
Step 2
While water heats, melt butter in a large skillet over medium. Add sage leaves and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Step 3
Continue cooking butter, swirling occasionally, until it turns golden brown with a nutty aroma, 3–4 minutes total.
Step 4
When tortelli float and hold steady for 1 minute, they're done. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta water, then drain.
Step 5
Transfer tortelli to the brown butter skillet. Toss gently and add 2 tbsp pasta water to create a silky glaze.
Step 6
Divide into bowls. Top with parmesan, lemon zest, and a crack of black pepper. Serve immediately.
