Georgina Burgess
This recipe is absolutely life-changing. I originally discovered this after seeing @PlantYou's reel and recipe. Combining caramelised onions with pasta isn't something I've ever thought about doing but now it's such an obvious match!

Ingredients
  

  • 3 medium onions peeled and sliced thinly
  • 1/3 cup sundried tomatoes
  • 1/3 cup olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp sugar
  • 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/4 tsp chilli flakes optional
  • 1 small head of garlic ends chopped off
  • 1 handful fresh parsley chopped
  • 400 g white beans, drained (such as cannellini or alargada beans) I used Perello's Alargada Beans
  • 1/2 cup vegan cream I used homemade cashew cream
  • 1/2 lemon juiced
  • 2 cups dried pasta of choice I used Farfelle

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 200C.
  • Add the onions to a baking dish along with the olive oil, sundried tomatoes, balsamic vinegar, sugar, oregano, chilli flakes, smoked paprika and mix well so all the onions are coated.
  • Add the garlic to the middle of the dish and drizzle a little olive oil over the top. Cover the dish with tin foil and place in the oven to bake for 1 hour (stir half way through)
  • Meanwhile, cook the pasta according to packet instructions.
  • Remove the dish from the oven and squeeze out the garlic cloves, discarding the skins. Add in the white beans, lemon juice, vegan cream, parsley and mix.
  • Add the cooked pasta along with a splash of pasta water and stir. Serve and enjoy!
