## Ingredients

- 1 large onion
- 4 garlic cloves
- 2 tbsp chili crisp
- 1 cup cream or coconut milk
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 0.5 cup fresh Parmesan cheese
- 225 g pasta
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp pepper
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning

## Instructions

1. Heat butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
2. Add the thinly sliced onions to the skillet and caramelize for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden and jammy. Add a splash of water if they start sticking.
3. While the onions are caramelizing, boil a pot of salted water and cook the pasta until al dente. Drain the pasta, reserving some pasta water.
4. Once onions are deeply golden, stir in minced garlic and all seasonings (paprika, garlic powder, salt, pepper, Italian seasoning) and let bloom for a minute.
5. Add chili crisp and sauté for one minute.
6. Pour in the room temperature cream or coconut milk and let it simmer for a few minutes.
7. Add the grated Parmesan cheese and stir.
8. Add the cooked pasta to the sauce and toss to coat.
9. Use the reserved pasta water to loosen the sauce if needed, aiming for a silky consistency.
10. Serve hot with an extra spoon of chili crisp and fresh parsley if desired.
