## 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
- 8 oz 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. Slice the onion thinly, mince the garlic, and measure out all seasonings.
2. Bring a cup of cream or coconut milk to room temperature.
3. Heat 2 tbsp butter and 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
4. Add the 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.
5. While the onions are caramelizing, boil a pot of salted water and cook the pasta until al dente. Drain, reserving some pasta water.
6. Once the onions are deeply golden, stir in the minced garlic and all the seasonings. Let it bloom for a minute.
7. Add the chili crisp and sauté for a minute.
8. Pour in the cream (or coconut milk) and let it simmer for a few minutes.
9. Add the grated Parmesan cheese and stir until melted and combined.
10. Add the cooked pasta to the sauce and toss to coat.
11. Use the reserved pasta water to loosen the sauce if it’s too thick, aiming for a silky consistency.
12. Serve hot with an extra spoon of chili crisp on top for a spicy kick and a sprinkle of fresh parsley if desired.
