  • Extra virgin olive oil

  • 1/2 red onion, sliced thin

  • 2-3 plum tomatoes, quartered

Directions:

  1. Prepare pasta according to directions.

  2. While the pasta cooks, in a large saute pan, heat a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil over medium heat. Add sliced red onions, salt and pepper, and saute for about minutes or until caramelized.

  3. Next add the quartered tomatoes and saute for 2-3 minutes. After the 2-3 minutes, turn the heat to low, then add the garlic and a squeeze of the lemon wedge. Saute on low for another 2-3 minutes.
