Directions:- Cook pasta according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
- Meanwhile, heat olive oil in a large saucepan or Dutch oven. Add onion and half the garlic; saute for 5 minutes over medium heat, stirring, until onion is translucent. Add the thyme and sage and 1/2 tsp. of the salt; saute for 10 minutes more, until the onions just start to brown.
