Description

A quick and flavorful pasta dish featuring sweet caramelized onions.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound pasta
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 large onions, thinly sliced
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

  1. Cook pasta according to package directions. Drain, reserving 1/2 cup pasta water.
  2. While pasta cooks, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onions and salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onions are deeply golden brown and caramelized, about 20-25 minutes.
  3. Add cooked pasta, reserved pasta water, pepper, and Parmesan cheese to the skillet with the onions. Toss to combine.
  4. Serve immediately, garnished with fresh parsley.

Notes

  • For deeper flavor, cook onions over lower heat for a longer period.
  • Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a touch of heat.
