For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sauce while it simmers. Freshly grated Parmesan cheese makes a wonderful accompaniment to this dish. If you don't have fresh sage, you can substitute 1 teaspoon of dried sage, but the flavor will be more intense, so adjust accordingly. Ensure you don't overcook the garlic as it will become bitter.

Follow The Directions
01
StepIn a saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 2-3 minutes, being careful not to burn it. (2-3 minutes)
02
StepStir in the quartered tomatoes (with their juice), drained capers, bay leaves, and thyme leaves. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, then reduce heat to medium-low. (2 minutes)
03
StepContinue simmering for 15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken slightly. (15 minutes)
04
StepStir in the thinly sliced fresh sage leaves and continue to simmer for another 10 minutes, allowing the sage to infuse the sauce with its distinctive aroma. (10 minutes)
05
StepWhile the sauce is simmering, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a rolling boil. Add the linguine pasta and cook according to package directions, about 8-10 minutes, or until al dente. (8-10 minutes)
06
StepOnce the pasta is cooked, drain it well and return it to the pot, off the heat.
07
StepSeason the sage-caper sauce to taste with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Pour the sauce over the cooked linguine and toss gently to coat each strand evenly.
08
StepServe immediately, garnished with extra fresh sage leaves, if desired.
