This was pretty good. I only used 1 1/2 onions because that was all that would fit in my pan...maybe my onions were really big? The rest I made as written, but then doubled the tomato paste and chicken bullion at the end because it wasn't tomato saucy enough. My husband didn't love this because he thought it was too oniony. I liked it though.

SO wonderfully quick and easy to prepare - and very tasty. We really enjoyed this with salad greens, crusty rolls and champagne for lunch with friends. This recipe appealed to me as it effectively showcased the onions rather than allowing them to simply play a supporting role. I made it with penne and parmesan and just couldn't resist adding two cloves of minced garlic and two chopped leeks - just so love the flavour of onions combined with these two ingredients. I also used dried (native Australian) bush tomatoes (a rather obscure ingredient, I know) as I've found that tomato paste always gives me heartburn, so this was very much a personal taste preference choice! This is a recipe I'll happily make again. Made for PRMR.
