It’s as easy as stashing some caramelized onions in your fridge!
When the stress of the day and the chilliness of the weather combine to form a powerful pasta hankerin’, just pull the onions out and heat them up in about 1/2 cup of white wine, a pinch of cayenne pepper (thanks Deb!), and a splash of sherry vinegar (not balsamic).
Serve over your favorite pasta under a wee drift of grated Parmesan cheese and a healthy dose of freshly ground pepper.
Simple, satisfying and tasty. It doesn’t get much easier than this.
And, uh, yeah, that is two sizes of pasta (papardelle and angel hair) you see in those photos.
I’ve been remiss in keeping my larder in good shape these days. The weather’s been too nice!
A Chicken In Every Granny Cart 
Whoa! So, here’s what I am thinking – you live in Manhattan, non? I live in Manhattan, non? Feasibly, I could come get some of this, er, now. Would that be creepy? It just looks so good, I’m losing my sense of social etiquette.
Creepy? Nah. Well, I mean, not unless you like, totally know what street I live on. That would be creepy. But even if you did, you’d be s.o.l. because pasta doesn’t have a chance of becoming leftovers in my kitchen. Doesn’t matter how full I am, I’ll finish it all. God I love pasta!
I like the idea of using 2 different sized pastas, more texture. And who doesn’t love more pasta?
It looks great to me! I am a huge fan of both caramalised or roasted onions, oh and pasta, oh and parmesan – so will definately be giving this a try.
I love caralized onions and try to keep it in the freezer. They have so many uses and make a dish taste very special!!! Those pics look fabulous!
What a great idea. If the carmelized onions are on hand pulling this together would only take a tiny bit more effort than ramen noodles. And it looks perfect for a cold and rainy October day.
It looks very comforting.
