Spaghetti With Golden Garlic, Tomatoes & Sage

1 pkg spaghetti
3 Tbs olive oil
4 large garlic cloves, peeled, halved, and sliced
1 1/2 lbs ripe tomatoes, coarsely chopped
1 can chickpeas, rinsed and drained
2 Tbs fresh chopped sage
2 Tbs chopped kalamata olives

1) Cook spaghetti in large pot of boiling salted water 10 to 11 minutes, or until al dente.
2) Heat oil and garlic in large saucepan over medium heat. Cook 2 to 3 minutes, or until garlic is browned, stirring occasionally. Stir in tomatoes, chickpeas, sage and olives, and simmer 3 to 4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, if desired.
3) Drain spaghetti, and return to pot. Add sauce, and toss to coat. Season with salt and pepper, if desired. Serve immediately.

Review: This had an interesting taste, due to the browned garlic (and an interesting smell). Ultimately I enjoyed it, though slicing the garlic was a bit tedious.
