Main Ingredients

  • 5 Yellow onions sliced (or 3 large ones)
  • 1 head Garlic top sliced off
  • 0.5 cup Sun dried tomatoes chopped
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon Paprika

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. While it’s warming up, grab that garlic head and place it on a small piece of foil.
  • Drizzle a little oil on the garlic, wrap it up tight in the foil, then pop it in the oven for 25 to 30 minutes. You want it soft and smelling good.
  • While garlic roasts, start heating a large pan over medium heat. Add some oil and toss in your sliced onions with a pinch of salt.
  • Cook onions slowly, stirring now and then for 20 to 25 minutes until they’re browned and caramelized. This takes patience but it pays off.
  • Once the garlic is done, squeeze the soft cloves out of their skins and mash them up. That roasted garlic is gonna add sweet depth to your sauce.
  • Add the sun dried tomatoes to your caramelized onions and stir for a minute or two. Then mix in the roasted garlic, salt, black pepper, paprika, and dried parsley. Give it a good stir to bring all those flavors together.
  • Pour in the coconut milk and simmer the sauce for 2 to 3 minutes so it thickens just right.
  • Finally, toss in the cooked farfalle pasta, coating it all in your sauce. Give it a taste and adjust seasoning if you need. Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley and basil, and don’t forget to squeeze that lemon juice on top.

Notes

Serve hot garnished with fresh parsley, basil, and a squeeze of lemon juice. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Add a splash of coconut milk or water when reheating to loosen the sauce.
