 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.
