spaghetti

🥗Healthier: whole wheat spaghetti

💰Cheaper: pasta

Whole wheat spaghetti offers more fiber, while regular pasta is often less expensive.

Slice 2 yellow onions really thin like potato chips.

Separate the onion slices.

Cook the onions nice and slow in olive oil until they turn brown, not translucent.

Add salt, black pepper, Italian seasoning, and garlic powder to the onions.

Add a splash of soy sauce to the mixture.

Realize that the pasta should have been started earlier; prepare a pot for boiling water.

Discuss that linguini can be used instead of spaghetti, and other pasta types are also acceptable.

Decide to use coconut milk as a cream alternative in the sauce.

Mix the coconut milk with the onion mixture and let it simmer together.

Taste the mixture to check for seasoning and adjust as necessary.

Add red pepper flakes to the mixture, being cautious with the amount.

Finish the dish with fresh parsley, if available.
