Method
- Start by prepping your dried pasta, olive oil, garlic so the cooking goes quickly.
- Set a wide pan over medium heat and sweat the yellow onion in a little butter until translucent.
- Add the pad thai and let it golden, undisturbed, so it takes on real color before you stir.
- Fold in the olive oil and season generously; give everything a minute to come together.
- Pour in the crushed tomatoes, bring to a gentle simmer, and cook until thickened and glossy.
- Taste and adjust, then finish with a squeeze of lemon right before serving.
- Serve warm, ideally with something to soak up the sauce.
