Caramelized Onion Pasta image

All you need for this tasty dinner is a bag of onions, garlic, some dried pasta, and cheese. Caramelizing sliced onions in a little butter and olive oil makes them become sweet and yielding, almost luscious. Pasta water and Parmesan do double duty, adding salt and depth while the creamy sauce forms.

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
2 Tbsp. unsalted butter
2 lb. onions (about 3 large), thinly sliced
2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
1/4 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
1 1/2 tsp. kosher salt, plus more
12 oz. linguine or other long pasta
4 oz. Parmesan, finely grated (about 1 cup), divided, plus more for serving
½ cup parsley, finely chopped (optional), plus more for serving
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Heat oil and butter in a large heavy pot or Dutch oven over medium until butter is melted. Add onions and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until very tender and deeply golden brown, about 30 minutes. (Stop before the onions become dry and shriveled.) Add red pepper flakes (if using) and 1 1/2 tsp. salt. Remove pot from heat.

  • Divide pasta among bowls. Top with Parmesan, parsley, and a few cranks of pepper.
