Drain the pasta and return it to the cooking pot.

Pour the lemon sauce on top of the pasta and toss it together until the pasta is evenly coated in sauce.

Heat the olive oil over medium heat, then add the sage and fry it for 3 minutes, until it's crisp.

Garnish the pasta with the crispy sage and the lemon slices if desired.
