Not Your Ordinary Pasta...

Sick of spaghetti? Red sauce? We were! I decided to use my son's favorite food, garlic, to create a pasta sauce that can replace tomato sauce.  The result was light and tasty, quick and easy... a perfect side or meal!

Farfalle with Garlic Sauce

5 T butter
1/2 C chopped red onion (about 1/2 a med onion)
3 T chopped garlic
1 C vegetable stock (or chicken, if you like)
1 T oregano
6-8 oz farfalle (or 1/2 box pasta of your choice)
1/2 C Parmesan cheese
1 plum tomato, chopped
parsley, salt, pepper, to taste

Cook pasta according to box, or until al dente, while making sauce.
In a skillet, melt 3 T butter, or oil.  Add red onion and cook until starting to brown.  Add garlic and cook for several more minutes.  Add oregano and stock, cook on med/high until reduced to about 1/2. Add pasta, Parmesan cheese, and 2 T butter, salt/pepper to sauce.  Serve hot, garnish with chopped tomato and parsley. Grilled chicken, shrimp or eggplant (or chickpeas) could be added for a heartier meal.
