Heat the oil in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat.
Sauté onion and garlic until soft, about 10 minutes.

Remove from heat and let cool slightly. Place mixture in the bowl of a blender and add the lemon juice and teaspoon of olive oil for extra moisture
Process until combined and smooth, about 30 seconds.
Cook pasta according to package directions.
