Yield: 4 servings

Cheesy Caramelized Onion + Veggie Loaded Skillet Pasta

  • ¼ cup olive oil (measure it!)

  • 1 large yellow onion, cut into thin half moons

  • 2 cups marinated jarred artichoke hearts, loosely chopped (Costco or Trader Joe’s has this)

  • 1 cup oil packed sun-dried tomatoes, loosely chopped if whole

  • 1 (12 ounce) box gluten-free pasta of choice, I like @jovial

  • 1/4 - 1/2 cup pasta water

  • ¼ cup nutritional yeast

  • 1 teaspoon salt, or to taste

  • 3 cups baby spinach

  • 1 bunch fresh basil, loosely chopped or torn

  1. Heat a large non-stick sauté pan over medium low heat. Once hot add olive oil, once oil is hot add onion. Let cook, stirring often for 30 minutes.

  2. Add artichoke hearts and sun-dried tomatoes to onions. Sauté another 5 minutes.

  3. Meanwhile cook pasta according to directions, reserving a bit of pasta water.

  4. Add cooked pasta to onion mixture, adding a bit of pasta water to loosen the sauce a bit (up to ½ cup), then add nutritional yeast, salt and spinach, mix until spinach is just wilted but still bright green. Remove from heat and salt to taste. Garnish with basil.
