Creamy Onion and Tomato Spaghetti

Instructions

1. 1

   Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the dry spaghetti and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water, then drain the spaghetti and set aside.

2. 2

   While the pasta is cooking, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the thinly sliced onions and sauté for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until soft and golden.

3. 3

   Add the minced garlic to the onions and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

4. 4

   Stir in the chopped fresh tomatoes and cook for 5-7 minutes, until the tomatoes have softened and released their juices.

5. 5

   Pour in the semi-skimmed milk and bring to a gentle simmer. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce is creamy.

6. 6

   Add the grated parmesan cheese and stir until melted and the sauce is smooth. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

7. 7

   Add the cooked spaghetti to the skillet and toss to coat in the creamy onion and tomato sauce. If the sauce is too thick, add a splash of reserved pasta water to loosen it.

8. 8

   Serve immediately, garnished with extra parmesan and freshly ground black pepper if desired.
