Step 1
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add tortelloni and cook until they float, then 1 minute more, ~4 minutes total.
Step 2
While pasta cooks, melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add sage and garlic, stirring constantly until fragrant, ~90 seconds.
Step 3
Keep stirring the butter—it will foam and turn golden-brown with toasted bits at the bottom, ~2 more minutes. Don't let it burn.
Step 4
Reserve 1 cup pasta water. Drain tortelloni and add to the butter sauce with lemon juice and red pepper flakes.
Step 5
Toss gently, adding pasta water 2 tablespoons at a time until the sauce coats each tortelloni and looks glossy.
Step 6
Divide between bowls. Top with lemon zest, Parmigiano-Reggiano, and a pinch of red pepper flakes. Serve immediately.
