For those of you who are allergic to tomatoes, can’t eat nightshades, don’t care for marinara, or are simply looking for an alternative to ubiquitous red sauce, here’s an idea: braised onion pasta sauce.
This Food52 recipe, adapted from a another by James Beard, calls for just a handful of ingredients: butter, onions, sugar, salt, madeira, pasta, and parmesan.
Here’s the basic gist: melt the butter, and add the onions; saute them until transluce, then season to taste with salt and sugar.
Cook onions further until they’re jammy about an hour, then finish them with booze before adding cooked pasta.
Shower with parmesan.
