Bring a large pot of water to a boil over a high heat. Add a large pinch of salt. Add pasta to boiling water and stir until water has returned to the boil.
Meanwhile, heat a frying pan over medium heat. Add oil and onion and cook for 5 minutes until softened. Add garlic and cook briefly for 1–2 minutes.
