# Instructions:
01 -
Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).
02 -
In a casserole dish, combine sliced onions, sun dried tomatoes, paprika, salt, pepper and dried parsley. Toss to mix evenly.
03 -
Place the whole garlic head (top sliced off) in the middle of the mixture. Drizzle everything with olive oil or reserved sun dried tomato oil.
04 -
Cover dish with foil and bake for 1 hour, tossing ingredients halfway through cooking time. The onions should be deeply caramelized when done.
05 -
About 20 minutes before the casserole is finished, cook farfalle according to package directions. Reserve 240ml (1 cup) of pasta water before draining.
06 -
Remove garlic from casserole dish. Once cool enough to handle, squeeze out the roasted cloves into the dish. Add fresh herbs, lemon juice, coconut milk and cooked pasta. Add reserved pasta water as needed to achieve desired consistency.
07 -
Stir to combine thoroughly and serve immediately.
# Notes:
01 -
For deeper flavor, allow the onions to caramelize until they reach a rich golden-brown color.
02 -
The pasta water contains starches that help create a silky sauce texture.
