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.
  • Meanwhile, cook pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water, stirring occasionally, until al dente. Reserve 1 1/2 cups pasta cooking liquid.
  • Add pasta and 1 cup pasta cooking liquid to onion mixture and stir to combine. Add a small handful of cheese and stir until melted. Repeat with remaining cheese, adding more pasta cooking liquid as needed to create a glossy sauce that coats the pasta. Stir in parsley (if using).
  • Divide pasta among bowls. Top with Parmesan, parsley, and a few cranks of pepper.

R-RATED ONIONS



R-Rated Onions image

It takes the better part of an hour to coax an onion's sugars from blonde to nutty brown. Make a big batch of caramelized onions once and save them to pull out when you want all that complex flavor without having spent all that time.

Yield Makes 2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 3

4-5 large or 6-8 medium yellow or white onions
1 Tbsp olive or vegetable oil
1 tsp kosher salt

Steps:

  • Peel your onions and cut them in half through their stem ends-longways, if you will. Slice them thinly with the grain, following the line from root to stem rather than cutting the onion across its belly. This is actually important because slicing it the other way makes the path to silky onions a longer one.
  • Once your onions are sliced, heat your skillet over medium-high heat and add the oil, then the onions and the salt. Let the onions sizzle for a couple minutes. Stir with a wooden spoon or a heatproof spatula and watch as they wilt for about 3 more minutes. At this point, reduce the heat to medium low. Put a lid on and step away for a few minutes. Give the onions a stir every now and then. You don't have to stand over it like risotto, but don't go for a walk around the block either. Caramelized bits will accumulate at the bottom and sides of the pan, and that's good. Just scrape them up and stir them in. A little color building as you go is okay, but don't rush to brown them. The point is to cook the onions gently, coaxing them through stages of raw, wilted, sweaty, soft, light brown, and finally deeply caramelized
  • About 45 minutes in, remove the lid for the last time. They should be a light caramel color. Now, with the lid off, you will need to watch more closely and stir more frequently. At some point you may find that despite your best efforts some of the caramelized bits, verging on burnt, cling to the pan and threaten over all onion ruin. Do not fret! Just add a ½ cup or so of water and use its energy to help scrape up the stubborn but tasty film. Let the water cook out of course. When you're smiling over a soft, creamy, fragrant pile of mahogany onions, you're done.
  • Note: R-Rated Onions will keep in the fridge for a week and in the freezer for 3 months.

Master how to make sweet, sticky caramelised onions. Perfect for adding to pasta, quiches or topping burgers and sausages

Provided by Lulu Grimes

Categories     Side dish

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 tbsp olive oil
3 large onions (red or white), sliced
pinch of salt
2 tbsp soft brown sugar
1-2 tbsp balsamic vinegar

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a large deep frying pan over a low heat.
  • Add the onions with a generous pinch of salt and cook slowly for 30-40 mins. Stir occasionally to prevent them from sticking or burning until they become soft and golden. If the onions start to catch, add a splash of water to the pan and mix well.
  • Add the sugar and vinegar to give them a sweet, slightly sharp chutney flavour. Keep cooking on a low heat for another 5 mins, stirring occasionally until the mix is sticky, the sugar has dissolved and the vinegar has reduced. The onions are now ready to serve, or use in a recipe.
