Categories     Pasta

Yield Serves 6 as a first course

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 lb. farfalle, orecchiette or penne
10 oz. mascarpone cheese - room temp.
2 large egg yolks - room temp
small pinch nutmeg
4 oz. pancetta
1 very large sweet onion
2/3 cup frozen peas - thawed
1 Tbsp. balsamic vinegar
1 tsp. sugar
salt & freshly ground pepper
freshly grated parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Cut pancetta into 1/2 inch dice. Place in a large saute pan over medium heat and cook slowly about 5 - 10 minutes to release fat. Slice onion into thin wedges and add to pan with pancetta. Cover pan to sweat the onions gently for about 20 minutes, until they are very soft and tender. Add balsamic vinegar, sugar and a few grinds of pepper, lower heat and cook uncovered about 10 minutes, until onions are meltingly soft and well carmelized. Add peas and cook another minute or two. Cover pan and set aside to keep hot while cooking pasta. Place mascarpone, egg yolks and nutmeg into a large bowl, mix well. Cook pasta in a large amount of salted water until tender but firm. Drain pasta reserving 1/2 cup cooking water. Add pasta and pancetta mixture to the bowl with the mascarpone and mix well. The heat of the pasta will cook the egg yolks. If needed, add a bit of pasta cooking water. Toss in about 1/4 cup grated parmesan. Serve immediately. Pass more parmesan and freshly ground pepper at the table.

Overall, this Pasta Carbonara with Caramelized Onions was a solid dish. It was easy to make and the flavors were good, but it wasn't anything特别.

This recipe was a disaster! The sauce was too runny and the onions were burnt. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

Meh. It was okay, but I've definitely had better carbonara.

Not a huge fan of the caramelized onions in this dish. I think they overpowered the delicate flavor of the carbonara sauce.

This recipe was a bit too rich for my taste, but I think that's just a personal preference. The caramelized onions were delicious, though!

This Pasta Carbonara with Caramelized Onions was an absolute delight! The combination of the creamy carbonara sauce and the sweet, savory onions was heavenly. I added a bit of extra Parmesan cheese for an even richer flavor, and it turned out perfect
