Method

  1. Start by prepping your dried pasta, olive oil, garlic so the cooking goes quickly.
  2. Set a wide pan over medium heat and sweat the yellow onion in a little butter until translucent.
  3. Turn the heat up, add the pesto, and cook until deeply browned and aromatic.
  4. Stir in the all-purpose flour along with a good pinch of salt, scraping up anything stuck to the bottom of the pan.
  5. Pour in the coconut milk, bring to a gentle simmer, and cook until thickened and glossy.
  6. Taste and adjust, then finish with a drizzle of olive oil right before serving.
  7. Plate it up while hot and pass extra at the table.
