Tangy Orange-Mustard Glazed Tomato & Onion Pasta

A bright, savory pasta tossed in a zesty orange-mustard glaze with caramelized onions, juicy tomatoes, and melted cheese on top.

Let's cook

1. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook 160g of pasta according to package instructions. Reserve 60ml of pasta water before draining.
2. While the pasta cooks, zest half an orange and juice the whole orange into a small bowl. Whisk in 1.5 tablespoons of mustard, 1 teaspoon of sugar, and 1 teaspoon of vinegar to make the glaze. Set aside.
3. Slice 1 medium onion into thin half-moons and dice 1 medium tomato. Mince 2 garlic cloves.
4. Heat 1 tablespoon of cooking oil and 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onions with a pinch of salt and cook, stirring occasionally, for 8-10 minutes until soft and golden.
5. Add the garlic and tomato to the skillet and cook for 2 minutes until the tomato begins to soften.
6. Pour the orange-mustard glaze into the skillet and stir to combine. Add the drained pasta and toss well, adding a splash of reserved pasta water to loosen the sauce to a silky consistency. Season generously with salt and pepper.
7. Divide the pasta between two plates or bowls, then immediately grate or crumble a generous handful of cheese over each serving so it melts slightly into the hot pasta. Serve right away.
