Ingredients
  • 300gr spaghetti
  • 1 pcs onion
  • 4 cloves garlic
  • 400 gr cherry tomatoes
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp vegan bouillon
  • 1 1/2 oz parmesan cheese
  • a dash cilantro or parsley
Instructions
  1. Begin by bringing a pot of water to a boil, seasoned with salt and a touch of oil. Cook the spaghetti until it reaches the desired al dente texture.

  2. In a separate pan, drizzle olive oil and sauté onions and garlic until they become tender.

  3. After that add cherry tomatoes to the pan. Cook them until they're soft, adding a bit of water to prevent burning. Season with vegan stock powder.

Note
  • Perfect Pasta: When boiling the water for the spaghetti, add a generous amount of salt to enhance the flavor. Stir the spaghetti occasionally to prevent sticking.
  • Flavorful Saute: While sautéing onions and garlic, let them cook slowly over medium heat to bring out their sweetness without burning.
  • Tomato Brilliance: To intensify the tomato flavor, use ripe cherry tomatoes. Cook them with a splash of water, ensuring they soften without losing their vibrant taste.
  • Cheese and Herbs: Choose high-quality Parmesan cheese for a rich taste. Fresh cilantro or parsley adds a burst of freshness, enhancing the overall presentation.
