Preheat the oven to 180°C Umluft. Slice 600 g white onion and 300 g red onion into thin half-moons. Place them in a large baking dish. Add the whole 2 garlic to the baking dish. Drizzle with 90 ml olive oil, then sprinkle with 10 ml paprika, 10 ml herb mix, 10 ml salt, and 5 ml black pepper. Add dollops of 200 g cream cheese over the onions. Mix all ingredients thoroughly in the baking dish until well coated.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil. Bake in the oven at 180°C Umluft for 45-50 minutes, or until the onions are deeply caramelized and tender, and the garlic is soft.
While the onions are baking, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add 320 g farfalle pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain the pasta and set aside.
Chop 60 ml parsley and 80 g sun-dried tomatoes.
Remove the baking dish from the oven. Carefully squeeze the roasted garlic cloves from their skin into the dish. Add the chopped parsley and sun-dried tomatoes. Drizzle with 60 ml balsamic glaze. Add the cooked farfalle pasta to the dish. Mix everything thoroughly until combined and creamy.
