Tips

  • If using sun-dried tomatoes in oil, use that oil to drizzle over the onions before cooking.
  • You can use a different type of pasta of a similar size or gnocchi.
  • For a gluten-free version, swap for gluten-free farfalle.
  • If you don’t like coconut flavor, substitute coconut milk with cashew cream or soy cooking cream.
  • To add more vegetables, include a cup of frozen vegetables or wilting greens.
