Whole-Wheat Spaghetti with Golden Garlic, Tomatoes, and Sage

Serves 6

30 minutes or fewer

Sage and tomatoes pair beautifully in this light pasta sauce. Firm Roma tomatoes are your best bet here for a sauce that’s not too watery. If early-season tomatoes make the sauce taste too acidic, stir 1 tsp. sugar or honey in with the sage and olives.
½ lb. whole-wheat spaghetti
3 Tbs. olive oil
4 large garlic cloves, peeled, halved, and sliced (3 Tbs.)
1 ½ lb. ripe tomatoes, coarsely chopped (6 cups)
¾ cup cooked chickpeas
2 Tbs. fresh chopped sage, plus more leaves for garnish
