Instructions
- Add thinly chopped onions to a pan of olive oil at medium heat. Cover generously with salt.
- Cook the onions down until caramelized, adding water as needed to keep them from sticking.
- Once onions are nearly ready add sliced garlic to the pan. This is also the time to start cooking the pasta.

- Let the onions and sauce simmer for 5 minutes while the pasta finishes cooking.
- Strain the pasta reserving one cup of water.

- Plate and top with optional parmesan.
Notes
It takes a long time to caramelize the onions down (30+ minutes – Paul may not be the fastest/best at this).
