1Slice your onion, mince the garlic, and measure out all your seasoning. Bring a cup of cream or coconut milk to room temperature.
2Heat 2 tbsp butter + 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
3Add in the onions and let them cook for 15
–20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden and jammy.
4While the onions are caramelizing, boil a pot of salted water and cook the pasta until al dente. Drain, but don’t forget to save some of that pasta water.
5When the onions are deeply golden, stir in your minced garlic and all the seasonings. Let it all bloom for a minute.
6Add the chili crisp and saute for a minute.
7Pour in your cream (or coconut milk). Let it simmer and get cozy for a few minutes then add the grated Parmesan cheese.
8Add your pasta to the sauce and toss to coat.
9Use that reserved pasta water to loosen things up if it’s too thick.
10Serve hot with an extra spoon of chili crisp on top and maybe a sprinkle of fresh parsley.
