1Thinly slice the onion, mince the garlic, and measure out your garlic chili crisp, coconut milk or cream, and dry parsley.
2In a large skillet over medium heat, add a couple of tablespoons of olive oil. Once the oil is hot, add the sliced onions with a pinch of salt.
3Cook the onions, stirring occasionally, for 10-15 minutes or until they are golden brown and caramelized. If they start to stick, add a little water to the pan to help deglaze it.
4While the onions are caramelizing, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving some of the pasta water for later.
5Once the onions are caramelized, add the minced garlic to the skillet. Cook for about 1 minute or until fragrant.
6Stir in the garlic chili crisp, and cook for another minute.
7Pour in the coconut milk or cream, add the dry parsley, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Let the sauce simmer for a few minutes to thicken slightly.
8Add the cooked pasta to the skillet with the sauce, tossing to combine. If the sauce is too thick, add a bit of the reserved pasta water until you reach your desired consistency.
9Serve the pasta hot, topped with an extra spoonful of garlic chili crisp for those who enjoy a bit more heat. You can also sprinkle some parsley on top for a hint of color.
