SPICY SPAGHETTI WITH CARAMELIZED ONIONS AND HERBS



Spicy Spaghetti With Caramelized Onions and Herbs image

Except perhaps for the fresh herbs, you probably have all the necessary ingredients to make this incredibly flavorful, easy pasta. The caramelized onions add sweetness to the salty olives and Parmesan, while red chile and garlic make the dish's flavors pungent and deep. A squeeze of fresh lemon right at the end brightens everything, adding a mild tang. Feel free to play around with the basic formula, swapping capers or even a small tin of sardines or tuna for olives, vinegar for the lemon, arugula or spinach for the parsley, and other cheeses (feta or pecorino) for the Parmesan.

Time 45m

Yield 3 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

Kosher salt, as needed
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 large white or Spanish onions, halved and very thinly sliced
12 ounces spaghetti
6 garlic cloves
1/2 teaspoon chile paste or red-pepper flakes, or to taste
2 anchovies, chopped (optional)
1 cup chopped mix of parsley and basil (or use all parsley)
1/3 cup chopped cured Moroccan or other intensely flavored black olives
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cubed
Lemon wedges, for squeezing
Grated Parmesan, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • Put a large pot of heavily salted water on and let it come to a boil.
  • Meanwhile, cook the onions: Heat 1/4 cup oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium heat. Add onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender and pale golden at the edges, 20 to 25 minutes. Lower heat if the edges start to brown too quickly or raise heat if onions aren't turning golden quickly enough.
  • When the water comes to a boil, cook spaghetti according to package directions until just al dente. Reserve 1 cup pasta water; drain pasta.
  • Thinly slice 4 garlic cloves, and stir into golden onions, along with red-pepper flakes. Continue to cook until onions are a rich brown, about 10 minutes longer. If the garlic starts to burn, lower the heat.
  • Finely grate remaining garlic cloves, and mash into anchovies using the flat side of your knife. Move some of the onion mixture to the side of the pan and add anchovy paste to bare spot in the skillet. Cook paste for 1 minute, then add herbs and olives, stir everything together, and cook another 1 minute.
  • Stir in cooked pasta, butter, and salt to taste, tossing to coat pasta. Add pasta water if it looks dry. Serve with a generous squeeze of lemon, and sprinkle with Parmesan and more chile on top, if desired.

Provided by Food Network

Categories     side-dish

Time 1h

Yield 15 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 large yellow onions
3 large red onions
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 sprigs fresh thyme, leaves only

Steps:

  • Heat the butter and olive oil in a heavy-bottomed pot or pan set over medium-high heat. Peel and slice the onions into rounds while the butter is melting and add them to the pot. Toss to coat the onions and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Turn the heat down to medium and do not cover the pot. You want these babies to get brown! Stir occasionally, for about 10 to 15 minutes, then turn the heat to medium-low. Keep stirring (switch to a spatula or wooden spoon to scrape up the browned bits) until the onions are browned and soft. Add the thyme leaves, toss and remove from the heat. These will keep for 5 days in a covered bowl in the refrigerator. Use the leftovers with eggs, on top of a salad, or straight from the bowl with a fork.

  • Don't overcook the spinach: Spinach cooks quickly, so be careful not to overcook it. Otherwise, it will become mushy.
  • Caramelize the onions slowly: Caramelizing the onions slowly will bring out their natural sweetness and flavor.
  • Use a good quality cheese: The cheese you use will make a big difference in the flavor of your dish. Use a cheese that melts well and has a good flavor.
  • Serve immediately: This dish is best served immediately after it is made. The fettuccine will start to absorb the sauce and become soggy if you wait too long.
