Number Of Ingredients 8

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 to 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 medium onions, peeled and cut into 1/4-inch-thick rings
1 teaspoon sugar
4 cups chicken broth (preferably homemade) or water
Salt and freshly ground pepper
1 pound fettuccine
1 head chicory (curly endive), mustard greens, kale, or arugula, washed, with tough ribs removed and leaves torn into pieces

Steps:

  • Heat oil and 1 tablespoon butter in a large, heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add onions and sugar and cook, stirring once or twice, until well browned, about 10 minutes. Turn heat to low; continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until very soft, about 10 minutes.
  • Remove half the onions and set aside. Add broth or water to the pan and bring to a boil. Cook over high heat, scraping bottom of pan, for 10 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Cook pasta in boiling salted water until a little underdone, and drain. Add to broth; simmer for 2 to 3 minutes. Add greens; cook, covered, until wilted, about 1 minute. Stir in additional tablespoon of butter, if desired. Divide among 4 shallow bowls, garnish with reserved onions, and serve.

I'm allergic to nuts, so I omitted the walnuts from the recipe. It was still delicious!

This dish is a bit too rich for my taste. I think I'll try a lighter version next time.

I'm not a fan of caramelized onions, so I substituted them with sautéed mushrooms. It turned out great!

This recipe is way too complicated. I don't have the time or patience to make it.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my dish didn't turn out as good as the picture. The sauce was too watery and the greens were too bitter.

I'm not usually a fan of bitter greens, but this dish changed my mind. The caramelized onions and the salty cheese really helped to balance out the bitterness and make it all so delicious. I'll definitely be making this again!
