## Tips

- Caramelize onions by letting them brown and deglazing with water until they are nice and caramelized.
- One commenter mentioned that it took them about 30 minutes to caramelize the onions and they pureed them for flavor over pieces.
- One commenter suggested cooking the pasta separately and then incorporating it into the sauce if using orecchiette pasta, as it took a long time to cook thoroughly in the pot.
