instructions
    1

    Boil a pot of salted water and add the 200 grams of pasta. Cook according to package directions until al dente, typically around 8-10 minutes.

    2

    While the pasta cooks, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

    3

    Dice 1 onion and mince 3 cloves of garlic. Add both to the skillet and sauté for 3-4 minutes until they are softened and fragrant.

    4

    Once the pasta is cooked, reserve 1 cup of pasta water, then drain the pasta and add it to the skillet with the onion and garlic.

    5

    Lower the heat and stir in 1 cup of sour cream, mixing thoroughly. If the sauce is too thick, add some reserved pasta water a little at a time until you reach the desired consistency.

    6

    Season the pasta with 1 teaspoon of salt, 1 teaspoon of black pepper, and mix until well coated.

    7

    Grate 50 grams of parmesan cheese over the pasta and stir in 2 tablespoons of chopped parsley for a fresh touch.

    8

    Serve immediately with extra parmesan and parsley as garnish.
