Preparation Time: 3 minutes

Cooking Time: 17 minutes

Instructions:

Peel and finely chop the onions and garlic. Chop the basil. Heat water for the pasta and salt well. Cook pasta according to package instructions.
Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan on medium-high heat. When hot, add the onions.
Fry the onions for five minutes until soft, then add the garlic. Fry one to two minutes more until the garlic is lightly browned.
Add the tomato paste and salt, mix well, and fry a further five minutes until darkened and reduced - stir well to avoid the paste burning.
Add the coconut milk and mix, cook a further five minutes until thickened.
Drain the cooked pasta, reserving a cup of pasta water.
Add the cooked pasta and basil to the pan with the sauce and toss to mix.
Add in reserved pasta water, a quarter cup at a time until the sauce is silky smooth yet still clinging to the pasta. You may not need to use all the pasta water.
Serve straight away, optionally with plenty of freshly ground black pepper and enjoy!
