Description

This dish combines the deep, sweet flavors of caramelized onions with the rich, savory taste of garlic, all tossed together with perfectly cooked spaghetti.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 8oz spaghetti
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 onion, thinly sliced
  • 4 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 tsp crushed red pepper
  • 1 tsp salt, plus more to taste
  • 1 tsp black pepper, plus more to taste
  • 1 green onion, chopped
  • grated parmesan cheese
  • chili oil (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a pan, melt butter over medium heat and add olive oil. Cook the onions on low heat until they are brown and caramelized. This may take up to 30 minutes or more. If the onions start to stick to the pan, add a splash of water to deglaze the pan.
  2. While the onions are cooking, bring a pot of water to a boil. Cook spaghetti per package instructions until al dente.
  3. Once the onions are caramelized, add minced garlic and sauté for about a minute, until the garlic is fragrant. Then add heavy cream, Italian seasoning, crushed red pepper, salt, and pepper. Mix and bring the sauce to a simmer.
  4. Add cooked spaghetti into the pan and toss until well combined. Add more salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Garnish with chopped green onions, grated parmesan cheese, and drizzle some chili oil on top. Serve hot and enjoy!
