Bergy, you are a lifesaver. I didn't really want to cook and there wasn't a lot in my fridge but your recipe had all the ingredients I actually had. Fried onions always taste good and this recipe is super quick - always a plus when you have toddler.

Yum, yum, Bergymum! I like to take "cooking breaks" from studying (believe it or not, cooking relaxes me tremendously! and making this was almost as much fun as eating it! Charring the onions gives it a lovely flavour, and the combination of lime, onions, cilantro and garlic was quite something else! I added salt to taste, and wolfed this down for lunch, despite wondering, at first, if 4 ounces of pasta for 1 person was a tad much I might add some more pepper, or chili powder, or maybe even some dried oregano for just that extra flavour that it seems lacking. Thanks a ton... as usual!

I agree with Anu something seemed to be lacking. My SO added canned tuna to his portion, but didn't find it improved the flavour. Still, a very tasty, warming and filling meal for not a lot of effort and I'd make it again. I used 3 large chillies and basil.
