Spaghetti with caramelized onions – glutenfree en vegan
Easy to make glutenfree and vegan spaghetti. The sauce is made from caramelized red onions mixed with roasted garlic and sundried tomatoes. For the spaghetti I used brown rice spaghetti.
Glutenfree pasta
My favorite pasta’s are made from buckwheat, lentils and brown rice. The first two I like in the shape of penne or fusilli. But the very best spaghetti, in my opinion, is made from brown rice. I found a very tasteful spaghetti online at Fattoria Lavialla. They ship to some European countries (including the Netherlands) and the US, but its not a big company. So check the availability. And no, this is not an affiliate link. I just like them!
Onions and garlic
Usually you caramelize onions with butter to make a thick and creamy sauce. I don’t eat butter anymore so I add roasted garlic. I use a whole bulb, because the taste of whole roasted garlic is must softer than fresh or pressed and baked garlic.
Sundried tomatoes
To give the sauce some depth and extra sweetness I use sundried tomatoes.
