In a large saucepan, bring the 2L water to a boil, reduce heat to medium then add the pasta and cook until soft.
Line a baking tray with baking paper. Place the garlic bulb on and drizzle with olive oil. If using plant-based chicken tenders, add these onto the tray too. Bake in the oven on 200C for 10-15min.
Dice the red onion and place into a small saucepan with some olive oil. Sauté until tender. Add all remaining ingredients to the saucepan including the peeled cooked garlic. Simmer on low heat for 10 min. Blend into a sauce.
