Pasta with caramelized onions and Parmesan
Description
The dish is prepared without unnecessary complications. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and thyme, season with salt and pepper. Cover with a lid and cook until the onion releases its liquid, about 5 minutes. Remove the lid and continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until the onion turns golden brown, 25 to 30 minutes. Meanwhile, bring salted water to a boil in a large pot. When the onion has been cooking for about 10 minutes, add the pasta to the pot and cook until al dente. Drain the pasta, reserving 1/2 cup of the cooking liquid. Return the pasta to the pot, add the onion mixture and oil, season with salt and pepper, and toss to combine. Gradually add enough of the reserved cooking liquid to reach desired consistency. Serve the pasta with Parmesan cheese. The dish is ready to be served.
