Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Place the asparagus and onions on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper.
- Toss the vegetables to ensure they are well-coated with the oil and seasoning.
- Roast in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the asparagus is tender and the onions are caramelized, stirring halfway through. Remove from the oven and set aside.
- While the vegetables are roasting, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
- Add the angel hair pasta and cook according to the package instructions, usually about 3-4 minutes, until al dente.
- Drain the pasta, reserving 1/4 cup of the pasta water.
- In a large skillet, add the minced garlic and a bit more olive oil if needed. Cook over medium heat for about 1-2 minutes until the garlic is fragrant, but not browned.
- Add the cooked pasta to the skillet, along with the roasted asparagus and onions.
- Pour in the reserved pasta water and toss everything together to combine.
- Sprinkle the grated parmesan cheese over the pasta mixture.
- Continue tossing the pasta over low heat until the cheese is melted and the ingredients are well combined, about 2-3 minutes.
- Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.
- Serve the Garlic Parmesan Angel Hair Pasta with roasted asparagus and onions immediately. Enjoy!
Tips:
- For best results, roast the asparagus and onions until they are slightly caramelized, which enhances their natural sweetness and flavor.
- Use fresh garlic for a more pronounced and aromatic garlic flavor. Mince the garlic finely to ensure it distributes evenly throughout the pasta.
- When cooking the pasta, make sure to salt the water generously. This is your chance to season the pasta itself, as the salt will be absorbed during cooking.
- Reserve a cup of pasta water before draining, as it can be used to adjust the consistency of the sauce and help it adhere better to the pasta.
- Toss the cooked pasta in olive oil immediately after draining to keep it from sticking together and to infuse it with extra flavor.
This garlic parmesan angel hair pasta with roasted asparagus and onions is a simple yet delectable dish that will impress your family and friends. The combination of roasted vegetables, cheesy goodness, and delicate pasta makes for a perfect harmony of flavors and textures. Enjoy this delightful meal fresh off the stove for the best experience.
