Step 1
Gather the ingredients and preheat the oven to 375 F.Step 2
Lightly oil a medium-sized casserole dish and set aside.Step 3
In a heavy-bottomed skillet over medium heat, heat the olive oil, adding the onion once hot. Stirring occasionally, cook the onions until they are translucent, about 6 minutes.Step 4

Meanwhile, boil a large pot of salted water. Once the water is at a rolling boil, add the pasta and cook until just al dente.Step 8
