  4. 4Add your garlic to the pot.
  5. 5Mix everything together.
  6. 6Deglaze with a touch of white wine, salt, a little bit of thyme, and fresh rosemary.

Tips

  • Caramelize onions by letting them brown and deglazing with water until they are nice and caramelized.
  • One commenter mentioned that it took them about 30 minutes to caramelize the onions and they pureed them for flavor over pieces.
  • One commenter suggested cooking the pasta separately and then incorporating it into the sauce if using orecchiette pasta, as it took a long time to cook thoroughly in the pot.
