Brown Butter Carbonara with Brown Sugar Roasted Figs and Whole Wheat Fettuccine

I’m having a moment with figs. The fact that they’re gracing pretty much every grocery store within a five-mile radius of my house has me not only purchasing them non-stop, but also has me hightailing it to the nearest supplier the second the last one disappears from my fridge. Just like summer, fig season is quickly fleeting and I want to make sure I get my fill of them before I have to wait three more seasons to get my hands on the little gems.
