How to Make Charred Onion Pasta
- Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add sliced red onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until they begin to brown and caramelize (about 10-12 minutes).
- Transfer the skillet to a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) and continue cooking until the onions are deeply charred and slightly sweet (about 10-15 minutes).
- Meanwhile, cook pasta according to package directions until al dente.
- Drain the pasta, reserving about 1/2 cup of pasta water.
- Add the cooked pasta to the skillet with the charred onions.
- Stir in balsamic vinegar, salt, and pepper. Add a little pasta water if needed to create a light sauce.
- Stir in the cilantro (or basil and chili peppers).
- Serve immediately, topped with grated Parmesan cheese if desired.
