Spagetti a la garlic

1 Servings

Ingredients

QuantityIngredient
1poundsSpaghetti
8Garlic cloves; chopped
¼cupOlive oil
½cupParsley; chopped
¼cupBasil; chopped
¼cupChives; chopped
4tablespoonsSage; chopped
0.00 Salt & pepper

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.
