  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 11 minutes. Drain, saving 1 cup of pasta cooking water.
  • Meanwhile, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and cook shallots until softened, about 8 minutes. Remove all from heat and set aside.
  • Melt butter in the same skillet until it foams. Add sage leaves, reduce heat slightly, and cook until butter is browned and sage is crispy, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat and take out sage from the butter. Set aside.
  • Whisk miso paste into the browned butter immediately. Add a splash of preserved pasta water, shallots, Parmesan cheese, and lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Serve with a drizzle of olive oil and top with crispy sage and Parmesan cheese.
