Equipment

  • 1 Large skillet
  • 2 Large pot for boiling pasta
  • 3 Cutting Board:
  • 4 Knife
  • 5 Measuring spoons
  • 6 Cooking spoon or spatula
  • 7 Colander for draining pasta

Ingredients
  

  • - 1 large onion thinly sliced
  • - 4 cloves of garlic minced
  • - 2 tablespoons of garlic chili crisp
  • - Salt and pepper to taste
  • - 1 cup of coconut milk or cream
  • - 1 teaspoon of dry parsley
  • - 8 ounces of pasta your choice of shape
  • - Olive oil

Instructions
 

  • Prepare all your ingredients: thinly slice the onion, mince the garlic, and measure out the garlic chili crisp, coconut milk or cream, and dry parsley.
  • In a large skillet over medium heat, add olive oil. Once hot, add the sliced onions with a pinch of salt. Cook for 10-15 minutes until golden brown and caramelized, stirring occasionally. If the onions stick, add a little water to deglaze the pan.
  • While onions caramelize, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving some pasta water.
  • Once onions are caramelized, add minced garlic to the skillet. Cook for about 1 minute until fragrant. Stir in the garlic chili crisp and cook for another minute.
  • Pour in the coconut milk or cream, add dry parsley, and season with salt and pepper. Let the sauce simmer for a few minutes to thicken.
  • Add the cooked pasta to the skillet with the sauce, tossing to combine. If the sauce is too thick, add reserved pasta water until desired consistency.
  • Serve the pasta hot, topped with an extra spoonful of garlic chili crisp for more heat, and sprinkle with parsley. Enjoy!
