Melt butter in large skillet over medium heat; add sage. Swirl butter in pan or stir occasionally to ensure butter cooks evenly. As butter melts, it will begin to foam. Watch butter closely. Cook 5 minutes or until color turns from bright yellow to golden tan.

STEP 2
Stir pasta into browned butter; cook 1 minute or until well coated and hot. Stir in 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, adding reserved pasta water 1 tablespoon at a time, if needed, to create smooth sauce. Serve with additional Parmesan cheese, as desired.
