Toasted Pasta and Vegetables
- 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil, Divided
- 2 Tablespoons Butter, Divided
- 1 whole Onion, Diced
- 8 ounces, weight Dry Spaghetti
- 4 cups Vegetable Stock
- 1 whole Bell Pepper, Sliced
- 2 cups Broccoli Florets
- 2 cloves Garlic, Minced
- 1/2 cups Grated Parmesan Cheese
- Start by caramelizing onions.
- Place 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter in a sauce pan.
- Add in diced onions and cook on low for about 15-20 minutes.
- Stir occasionally to keep from burning.
- When the onions are golden and translucent, remove from heat.
- In a large fry pan or wok, melt the remaining tablespoon butter in the pan with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil.
- Break pasta in half and add to the fry pan.
- Over medium low heat, toast your pasta, tossing constantly.
- Slowly add in your stock 1 cup at a time.
- Continue to cook on medium/low heat.
- Toss pasta occasionally.
- Let the pasta absorb the stock (almost like cooking risotto!).
- When the pasta is starting to get tender, about 15 minutes into the cooking process, add in your veggies and garlic.
- Add as much stock as needed to keep it moist and toss until the veggies are cooked through and the pasta is cooked.
- Toss with caramelized onions.
- Serve topped with grated Parmesan cheese.
