Chef's pro tip
Here's a cool tip for making awesome pasta! To ensure your pasta doesn't get overcooked, just cook it al dente. All you have to do is follow the instructions on the package and test the pasta a couple of minutes before the recommended cooking time. When it's al dente, it will still have a slight firmness and give this dish the perfect texture.

A note on net carbs
While this recipe isn't technically keto, as it has roughly 15 net carbs per serving, we think there's a place for recipes on CIK that are more low-carb than keto. You could slash some carbs by forgoing the onion.
