1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the pappardelle and cook until al dente. Drain the pappardelle thoroughly, reserving 1 cup of the pasta cooking water.
2. Meanwhile, in a large, deep skillet, heat the olive oil over high heat. Add the sliced scallions and chopped sage and cook over high heat until lightly browned, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the baby spinach in large hand-fuls and cook, stirring, until the leaves are all wilted. Add the drained pappardelle, butter and ricotta cheese and toss until well combined. Add 3/4 cup of the reserved pasta cooking water and the grated Parmigiano cheese and season generously with salt and black pepper. Cook over moderately low heat, tossing, until the sauce is thick and creamy, adding more of the pasta water as needed. Transfer the pappardelle to shallow bowls and serve right away, with grated Parmigiano.
