Ingredients

  • 1 lb spaghetti or bucatini something round and long
  • 2 sweet onions sliced
  • 1/2 C olive oil
  • Parmigiano Reggiano grated

Instructions

  • Add onions and olive oil to a cold pan. Heat to medium and let the onions cook till they begin to brown around the edges. Season with salt after they start getting some color. Cook  till they are golden brown around the edges and still have a little bit of texture. They shouldn’t be mush. Set aside, off heat, while you get your pasta cooked.
  • Boil your pasta in generously salted water. Drain pasta and saving a little cooking liquid. Toss pasta with cooked onions and add in some of the pasta water if things look too dry. 
  • To serve, pile up your pasta, shower in cheese and eat.
