Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp olive oil or water
  • 2 yellow onions thinly sliced
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 6 sun-dried tomatoes chopped
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp fresh thyme
  • ½ cup dry white wine
  • 1 cup pasta water
  • 12 oz farfalle pasta
  • ½ cup cashew cream or vegan cream
  • 1 handful spinach
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Melt oil in a non-stick pan. Add the salt, onion and garlic. I used the oil from the sun dried tomato jar.
  • Allow the onions to cook over medium to low heat for approximately 25 minutes, stirring occasionally until caramelized. 
  • Cook the pasta in a separate pot according to package directions, reserving at least 1 1/2 cups of pasta water. 
  • Add the thyme, sun dried tomatoes and white wine and deglaze the pan. Pour in the pasta water and cashew cream until a creamy sauce is formed, and then add the pasta to the pan. Mix in a handful of spinach or basil to serve. Enjoy immediately with salt and pepper!
