This was great but I did change some things to suit my own personal preferences. I like everyone else only used a small amount of oil. I added about 1 cup of onions and one teaspoon of minced garlic to the oil and butter and cooked over medium heat in a saucepan. Then I added the basil pepper and chicken broth to the saucepan. Meanwhile I cooked and drained some angel hair pasta. I decided I wanted the sauce to be creamy so in a smaller saucepan I made a white sauce with 1 cup of milk 2 tbsp. of butter and 2 tbsp. of Wondra flour. Once that had thickened I slowly stirred it into the onion mixture. I let it simmer together for a few minutes added more salt and pepper then began to spoon the pasta into the sauce until it was just the right consistency. It was so yummy! It was super creamy and my husband loved it. Thanks for the great recipe Jackie!
This recipe has really good flavor--I did add one clove of minced garlic to the onions when they were nearly browned and I served it over spinach linguine. Quite creative too I would never have thought of using carmelized onions over pasta but it works for me! The only reason I am not giving this recipe a 5-star rating is that in my opinion it has a lot more oil and butter than necessary. It gives it an overly greasy feel. Next time I will cut down on the oil and I am sure it will be more to my taste.
I have debated for months on whether or not to try this...Personally I liked it but I only used 2 onions - which was plenty for me. Yes they shrink down plenty but I still want my goodnight kiss!! I did add some minced garlic and like another a splash of white wine (which I added halfway through carmelizing). My daughter wouldn't touch it and my boyfriend picked out half the onions but my roommate and I really enjoyed it - any onion lover would. Not the best but a quick easy and tasty dish indeed!
I first started making this for the times when we were low on groceries or for one of our self-imposed meat-free meal nights. Now I make it simply because we love it so much. This is an absurdly easy to prepare yet deceptively delicious meal. The only change I make is to cut WAY back on the butter and oil (that's the only reason why I ding it by one star); I use just enough butter to grease the pan and give the onions a little moisture. Oh I usually use 2 large strong-tasting onions for 2 servings. This is a superb recipe. Thanks so much Jackie!
This was very tasty. I added broccoli garlic shallots and deglazed the pan with white wine. I also used stock instead of water.
This recipe was pretty good. I only used 2 onions as was suggested and I added in a tablespoon of minced garlic. When the onions were almost done I also added in some broccoli and bean sprouts. I also substituted the water for chicken stock. The only thing I didn't really like about the recipe was how greasy it was. Next time I make this I will probably cut the amount of oil in half.
The simplicity of this recipe is deceiving......it is delicious!!! I made this last week and we loved it. I have onions in the skillet right now to make it again. Thanks for sharing. Ginger
This is really good I used three large onions which was plenty and some fresh garlic. When I heat up the leftovers tomorrow I will saute some mushrooms and add to the mix. Can't wait!
I make this all the time when i am being lazy...because it is just so easy. I do tend to use a little less onion usually 2 and i cut down on the oil so it's less greasy but this is good and simple stuff
I am an onion lover as is my boyfriend. This dish was nothing like I thought it would be. I made it exactly as it says in the recipe. It just felt like warm... greasy noodles with a watered down flavor? I dont know how to expain it. I wasn't a fan of the basil. IF I make it again I think I would recommend some minced garlic oregano or some italian seasoning set cut the oil/butter probably in half and instead of adding a full cup of water to the bouillon maybe just a fourth so it has a thicker flavor.
