12 oz. spaghetti

2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced

1 small red onion, thinly sliced

Grated Parmesan or vegan Parmesan alternative, for serving

Directions

1. From lemon, peel 4 strips of zest and thinly slice, then squeeze 2 tablespoons juice. 
2. In a large skillet or Dutch oven, place spaghetti (it should lie flat on the bottom). Add garlic, onion, lemon juice, wine, oil, 4 cups water, 3/4 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Bring to a boil and boil gently, stirring frequently, 5 minutes.
3. Fold in tomatoes and continue to boil gently until pasta is al dente and nearly all the liquid has been absorbed (absorption will continue).
