Ingredients
- 1 pound pasta of choice, I used gluten free rigatoni
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- ½ cup chopped onion
- 2 tbsp minced garlic
- 1 tsp red pepper flakes
- 2 cups Bona Furtuna marinara sauce, or desired marinara sauce
- 1 can coconut milk
Instructions
- First, cook pasta according to package directions.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, add olive oil, chopped onion, minced garlic and red pepper flakes.
- Cook for 5 to 7 minutes or until onions have softened, stirring occasionally to prevent burning.
- Then, add in pasta sauce and coconut milk. Stir to combine.
- Simmer on medium until sauce has thickened to desired consistency. Mine took about 5 minutes to thicken.
- Finally, drain pasta and stir in sauce. Serve!
Notes
- Use any pasta! I used a gluten free Rigatoni.
- Stir or shake canned coconut milk before use since it naturally separates. It is usually sold in the Asian aisle at grocery stores.
- The longer the sauce simmers, the thicker it will become.
- The pasta sauce I used contains basil. If yours does not, feel free to add in basil to the sauce.
- Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days.
