Cook pasta according to package directions, with no salt or fat, about 1-3 minutes; drain, first reserving 1 c. cooking water/liquid.
While waiting for pasta water to come to a boil, melt butter in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add hazelnuts; sauté 3 minutes or until toasted and fragrant; remove hazelnuts with a slotted spoon; set aside.
Add oil to same skillet; swirl to coat; add garlic and mushrooms; sprinkle with 1/4 t. salt and pepper. Sauté mushroom mixture for 5 minutes; stir in sage; add pasta, reserved cooking water/liquid and remaining 1/4 t. salt; toss well to combine. Remove from heat.
