Ingredients:
- 3 onions,
- 5 tablespoons of olive oil,
- 1.4 oz of butter,
- 2 dried chili peppers,
- 2 cloves of garlic,
- ½ cup of pasta water,
- roughly 1 cup of 18% cream,

How to prepare:
Step 1. Begin by preparing the onions, the foundation of this recipe. Peel and then slice them thinly.
Step 2. In a preheated pot, mix the olive oil and butter. Once heated, add the sliced onions and sauté until they're golden brown.
Step 3. Next, add the dried chili peppers, finely chopped garlic cloves, and about ½ cup of pasta water. The pasta water helps the sauce and pasta integrate into a unified dish.
Step 4. Do not forget the cream, which provides a creamy texture to the sauce. Add finely chopped fresh parsley to the mixture. Simmer until the onion sauce thickens.
Step 5. Finally, add the al dente cooked pasta to the pot. Mix well and serve.
Step 6. Garnish with additional fresh parsley and the two chili peppers for decoration. Your delicious meal is ready to enjoy!
