Pasta With Yogurt And Caramelized Onions From Kassos Recipes

Steps:

• In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium high heat.
• Add the sliced onions and stir to coat with the butter.
• Reduce heat to medium and continue to cook the onions, stirring occasionally (don't let them stick) for about 45 minutes or until they are really brown and soft.
• Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to boil and cook the pasta to desired doneness.
• Mix the yogurt with 1/2 cup of the pasta water and mix well.
• Add the yogurt mixture to the onions and stir in until the onions are evenly coated with the yogurt mixture.
• Add the drained pasta and about half the cheese and toss.
• Transfer to a serving bowl and garnish with the rest of the cheese and the herbs.

Steps:

• Heat oil and butter in a large heavy pot or Dutch oven over medium until butter is melted. Add onions and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until very tender and deeply golden brown, about 30 minutes. (Stop before the onions become dry and shriveled.) Add red pepper flakes (if using) and 1 1/2 tsp. salt. Remove pot from heat.
• Meanwhile, cook pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water, stirring occasionally, until al dente. Reserve 1 1/2 cups pasta cooking liquid.
• Add pasta and 1 cup pasta cooking liquid to onion mixture and stir to combine. Add a small handful of cheese and stir until melted. Repeat with remaining cheese, adding more pasta cooking liquid as needed to create a glossy sauce that coats the pasta. Stir in parsley (if using).
• Divide pasta among bowls. Top with Parmesan, parsley, and a few cranks of pepper.

Steps:

• Line a colander with cheesecloth and set over a bowl or in the sink. Add the yogurt and let drain for 2 hours.
• Heat the olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat and add the onions. Reduce the heat to medium low and cook, stirring frequently, until the onions are soft and golden brown, 20 to 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, fill a large pot with water and bring to a boil. As the water heats, add enough salt so that you can taste it. Add the pasta and cook until soft, not al dente. Combine the drained yogurt with 1/2 cup cooking water and mix well. Drain the pasta and toss with the yogurt mixture.
• Divide the pasta among 4 bowls. Sprinkle generously with cheese and top with caramelized onions and their juices.
