Ingredients

3 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 yellow onion, finely minced

3 sage leaves, finely chopped
1 teaspoon rosemary leaves, finely chopped
4 cups hot vegetable stock
12 ounces short pasta
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, finely chopped

Instructions

Heat 2 tablespoons of extra-virgin olive in medium sauce pan over medium-low heat, add the onion and cook until it begins to turn golden, adding a bit of warm water if necessary.
