Meanwhile, melt ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add ¼ cup finely chopped preserved lemon and season with freshly ground pepper. Cook, stirring, until butter is sizzling around edges of lemon, about ⏱️ 1 minute. Stir in 2 Tbsp. preserved lemon brine, reduce heat to low, and keep warm until pasta is ready.
Freshly ground pepper

Using tongs, transfer pasta to skillet (a little water coming along is okay) and add ½ cup pasta cooking liquid. Increase heat to medium and cook, tossing vigorously and adding more pasta cooking liquid by the ¼-cupful as needed, until sauce is silky and pasta is coated and glossy, about ⏱️ 2 minutes.

Divide pasta among bowls and top with finely grated Parmesan; season with pepper.
