8 ounces gemelli pasta
1 tablespoon avocado oil
1/2 cup onion, minced

1
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the gemelli and cook until al dente. Reserve 1/4 c of the pasta water. Drain the cooked gemelli and set aside.

Meanwhile, heat the avocado oil in a large skillet over medium heat. When the skillet is hot, add the onion and cook until soft, about 5 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook for 1 minute longer.
