Ingredients

1/4 cup olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup red onion, thinly sliced
2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
1 tablespoon fresh chives, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon fresh oregano leaves
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
450 grams spaghetti
1/2 cup fresh basil leaves
2 tablespoons parmesan cheese

Instructions

Bring a pot of water to a full boil. Add a good pinch of salt and the pasta. Cook until just al dente. Pasta usually takes about 7 minutes to cook. The next part of the recipe should be ready when the pasta is cooked, so don’t wait to get started.
Add the olive oil and garlic to a large skillet. Over medium heat, cook the garlic until it just starts to change colour. Don’t brown the garlic. It should be just cooked through and fragrant.
Once the garlic is ready, add the red onions and the tomatoes. Toss well to coat and immediately turn off the heat. Continue to stir well and allow the residual heat to blister the tomatoes and cook the onions.
After 5 minutes, stir in the lemon juice, thyme leaves, chives, and oregano.
Season with ground black pepper and salt.
Add the cooked spaghetti and toss well to coat.
Plate and garnish with fresh basil leaves and parmesan cheese. Serve immediately.
