Yield 2 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 large yellow onions, halved and thinly sliced
12 ounces penne pasta
1 1/2 cups grated Pecorino Romano cheese
Salted butter
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Heat 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until caramelized, for 10 to 12 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, cook the penne according to package directions in lightly salted water. Reserve 1 cup pasta cooking water, then drain.
  • Increase the heat under the skillet to medium-high and stir the cooked penne and reserved pasta water into the skillet. Let the sauce simmer and reduce until it thickens, for 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the grated cheese until partially melted.
  • Top with freshly ground black pepper and serve immediately.
