Instructions
Step 1: Caramelize the Onions
Thinly slice the onions. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add onions and cook, stirring occasionally, for 30-40 minutes, or until golden brown and caramelized. Patience is key here for the best flavor!

Add minced garlic to the skillet with the caramelized onions and sauté for 1 minute. Add cooked pasta and a splash of pasta water. Toss to combine, seasoning with salt and pepper.
Step 4: Serve
Serve hot, garnished with Parmesan cheese and chopped parsley.
Variation: Truffle Oil Infusion
For a luxurious touch, drizzle truffle oil over the finished dish.
