Ingredients
- 400 g elicoidali pasta ( 14oz) or rigatoni, tortiglioni etc
- 400 g Tropea onions (14oz)
- 1-2 garlic clove peeled
- 200 ml white wine about a glass
- 4-5 tablespoon Pecorino cheese grated (strict vegetarians should use a vegetarian cheese)
- 1 handful fresh parsley chopped (optional) or basil
- 3 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- salt for pasta and to taste
- black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Peel and finely slice the onions.
- Put water on to boil for the pasta. Add salt when it boils and bring to the boil again.
- Heat olive oil in a frying pan or skillet and add the garlic clove.
- Add the onion slices once the garlic starts to change colour.
- Let the onions cook for 3-4 minutes then add the wine wine and cover the pan.
- Cook the onions and wine for 10-15 minutes until the onions are soft and well cooked.
- Cook the pasta al dente in the salted boiling water according to the instructions on the packet
- If the liquid has evaporated from the sauce and the onions seem dry, add a tablespoon or two of the pasta cooking water.
- Add salt and pepper to taste
- Remove the garlic clove and add the grated pecorino.
- Mix well and turn off the heat.
- Save some of the pasta cooking water. Drain the pasta, add it to the onion sauce and mix everything together. If dry add a little more of the pasta cooking water and mix again.
- Serve with extra grated pecorino and parsley or basil.
Notes
- This recipe can be made with other types of red onion and other tube pasta such as penne rigate, rigatoni or tortiglioni.
