Is it possible only few onions to lead you to a super delicious pasta dish? The answer is yes only if you try this caramelized onion pasta. Simple, yet delicious dish.
I have to confess that I was a little bit reluctant to try this recipe. I wasn’t convinced that slowly caramelized onions will create a delicious pasta sauce. But, I was so wrong. Only 40 minutes later I was eating the most yummy and complex-tasting caramelized onions pasta dish.
For making this recipe you will need a few and simple ingredients. Olive oil, butter, onions and fresh spring onion and some wine. The recipe can only be made with onions. Personally, I really liked the addition of spring onions. The chopped fresh onion was used both in the sauce and as a side dish.
Recipe notes
The most important thing in this recipe is the temperature. The temperature of the pan after adding onions should be low, as we do not want the onion to burn. While, in its best cooking, it helps to cook it with the lid closed. So, choose to use a pan with a lid. If you follow the instructions you will end up with the super yummy, jammy and complex-tasting caramelized onions.
If you do not have any wine, don’t worry. You can substitute wine with a glass of pasta cooking liquid. The pasta cooking liquid will create a super a glossy sauce that will coat your pasta.
