Cook ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter in same pot over medium-high heat, stirring and scraping bottom often to prevent burning, until it foams, then browns and is very fragrant, about ⏱️ 4 minutes. Quickly stir in 2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced, and 2 Tbsp. smoked paprika, then immediately add reserved pasta and ½ cup pasta cooking liquid. Cook, stirring and adding more pasta cooking liquid as needed, until a loose, glossy sauce forms, 2–⏱️ 3 minutes. Taste and season with salt and freshly ground pepper.
