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 pad thai, and cook until deeply browned and aromatic.
4. Fold in the parmesan and season generously; give everything a minute to come together.
5. Off the heat, brighten it up with a squeeze of lemon and a final crack of pepper.
6. Plate it up while hot and pass extra at the table.
