Roasted Onion and Garlic Pasta

Ingredients

• 410 g spaghettini (do not break the pasta)
• 1 onion (sautéed)
• 3 cloves garlic (sautéed)
• Knorr veggie or beef stock (used as a budget-friendly alternative to liquid stock)
• powdered coconut milk (reconstituted; used instead of canned for cost and storage)
• spices (bloomed in the pan; specific blend not disclosed in video)

Steps

1. 1

   Boil a pot of water and cook the spaghettini until al dente (approximately 5 minutes according to package instructions). Do not break the pasta before adding it to the water.

2. 2

   While the pasta cooks, heat a pan and sauté the chopped onion and garlic until fragrant and softened.

3. 3

   Add the spices to the pan with the aromatics to bloom them, enhancing their flavor.

4. 4

   Incorporate the Knorr stock base and the powdered coconut milk (reconstituted with water) to create the sauce base.

5. 5

   Combine the cooked pasta with the sauce, tossing to coat thoroughly before serving.

Notes

The author suggests using powdered coconut milk and Knorr bouillon to keep the cost per serving at approximately $1.40 and to prevent waste from spoiled canned goods. The specific spice blend was withheld for a social media engagement prompt.
