Steps:
- Heat a glug of olive oil in a large saucepan or skiller with the butter. Add the onion and cook over a low-medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the onion is soft, really golden and sticky. This will take about 30 minutes. Don't be tempted to rush the onion slices by increasing the heat otherwise they will burn and taste bitter rather than have a 'melt in the mouth' sweet flavour.
- Meanwhile, cook the pasta until al dente.
- Lightly toast the pine nuts in a dry frying pan and set aside.
- Increase the heat under the onion and stir in a good splash of Madeira, Marsala or sherry. Leave to almost evaporate, and then stir in the cream, mustard, parsley and pine nuts. Gently simmer for a couple of minutes, stir in the Parmesan and season with salt and pepper.
- Drain the pasta, reserving a couple of tablespoons of the cooking water. Mix well with the sauce and eat straight away in warmed bowls.
- Note: Try and use good quality egg pasta because it is lighter in texture than basic dried pasta.

CREAMY CARAMELIZED ONION PASTA
The Associated Press. Note: I cut the servings in half but caramelized the entire three pounds of onions and saved the rest for other recipes. Perfect for weekday meals. Because the onions are caramelizing while you're at work or school, and all you have to do when you arrive home is boil the water for the pasta and lightly wilt the arugula. The only thing I did differently was to serve the ingredients separately in lieu of stirring everything together.
