Ingredients
| Quantity | Ingredient | |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | pounds | Spaghetti |
| 8 | eaches | Garlic cloves, chopped |
| ¼ | cup | Olive oil |
| ½ | cup | Parsley, chopped |
| ¼ | cup | Basil, chopped |
| ¼ | cup | Chives, chopped |

Directions
Cook spaghetti until *al dente*.
Meanwhile, heat the garlic in the olive oil until it smells fragrant, just a few moments. Toss in the herbs & remove from the heat.
Drain the pasta & toss in the pan with the garlicky herbs. Season & serve & do not add cheese as it only interferes with the herby flavours. Be sure to add enough salt & pepper, however.
VARIATION: Omit the basil altogether.
Replace the sage with any of the following fresh herbs: marjoram; oregano; thyme; rosemary or tarragon. Conversely, reduce the amount of sage & add a little of all these herbs.
