Method
- Heat the oil in a large, heavy-based pan over a medium heat until hot. Add the onions and fry for 10-12 mins until softened and golden, stirring occasionally to prevent them from catching. Remove from the pan; set aside.
- Wipe out the pan and add the pasta, garlic and parsley stalks. Pour over enough boiling water to cover, then bring to the boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 5 mins, then add the tomatoes. Cook for 4-5 mins until the pasta is just cooked and the tomatoes have broken down.
- Drain the pasta mixture, then return to the pan. Stir through the reserved onions, the soured cream and most of the parsley leaves. Season and garnish with the remaining parsley leaves to serve.
