Ingredients
- ½ cup panko
- 2 tablespoons olive oil divided
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic divided
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt divided
- 2 cups thinly sliced sweet onions like Vidalia or Walla Walla--about 1 pound
- ½ cup dry white wine
- ¼ cup vegetable broth
- ¼ cup kalamata olives pitted and quartered
- 1-14 oz. can small artichoke hearts drained and quartered
- ¼ cup basil leaves torn
- ¼ cup sun-dried tomatoes thinly sliced
- 8 ounces uncooked rotini
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- Combine panko, 1 tablespoon oil, 1 teaspoon garlic, and a dash of salt in a small bowl. Spread panko mixture in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake at 375 degrees for 6 minutes or until golden brown, stirring after 3 minutes. Cool.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add remaining 1 tablespoon of oil to pan. Add onions to pan; cook 20 minutes or until golden brown, stirring occasionally. Add remaining garlic and wine. Increase heat to medium-high; cook 1 minute. Add broth and heat until liquid is reduced (about 4 minutes). Remove from heat; stir in olives, artichoke hearts, basil leaves, and sun-dried tomatoes.
- While onions are cooking, cook pasta in boiling water according to package directions. Drain. Stir pasta into vegetable mixture and add remaining salt and pepper. Divide pasta mixture into bowls; sprinkle each serving with 2 tablespoons of the panko mixture.
