Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 8 oz Pasta (any type)
  • 2 medium Onions Sliced
  • 2 tbsp Olive oil For caramelizing onions
  • 3 cloves Garlic Minced
  • 1 cup Vegetable broth
  • 1 cup Coconut cream or cashew cream For the sauce
  • 1/4 tsp Nutmeg
  • 1 tsp Salt To taste
  • 1/2 tsp Pepper To taste
  • 2 tbsp Fresh parsley For garnish

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Cook Pasta: Begin by boiling the pasta according to the package instructions. Once cooked, drain and set aside.
  2. Caramelize Onions: In a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil and sliced onions. Cook them for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally until they caramelize.
  3. Add Garlic: Once the onions are golden, add in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.
  4. Simmer Broth: Pour in vegetable broth, bringing the mixture to a gentle simmer.
  5. Incorporate Cream: Stir in your choice of coconut cream or cashew cream, along with nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Cook until heated throughout.
  6. Combine: Toss your cooked pasta with the caramelized onion sauce until well combined.
  7. Serve: Dish up the pasta, garnishing with fresh parsley for an extra touch of color.

Notes

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. To reheat, warm gently on the stovetop or in the microwave. Adding a splash of vegetable broth can help regain the creamy consistency if the sauce thickens.
