butter

🥗Healthier: olive oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

Olive oil reduces saturated fat and adds a different flavor.

parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: grated cheddar

Nutritional yeast is dairy-free and adds a cheesy flavor.

Sauté onions in butter for about 15 minutes until caramelized.

Add more butter to the pan as it serves as the sauce for the dish.

Season the onions with salt and black pepper.

Add tomatoes to the pan to blister them, not to cook them down to sauce.

Cook noodles according to package instructions and have them ready before starting the rest of the recipe.

Combine the cooked pasta with the caramelized onions and blistered tomatoes in the pan.

Add chopped parsley (a mix of parsley and basil) to the pasta and vegetables.

Finish the dish with grated parmesan cheese on top.
