Let’s Cook!
Step 1: Caramelize Those Onions!
Thinly slice your onions. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, for 30-40 minutes, until golden brown and caramelized. Patience is key here—this develops the rich flavor!
Step 2: Cook the Pasta
While the onions caramelize, boil salted water. Cook your pasta according to package directions until al dente. Reserve about a cup of pasta water before draining.
Step 3: Combine and Season
Add minced garlic to the skillet with the caramelized onions and sauté for one minute until fragrant. Add the cooked pasta and a splash of pasta water. Toss to combine, allowing the pasta to absorb the delicious flavors. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Step 4: Serve and Enjoy!
Serve hot, garnished with Parmesan cheese and chopped parsley.
Variation: Truffle Oil
For a luxurious twist, drizzle a little truffle oil over the finished dish.
