Caramelized Red Onion Pasta Is The Ideal Weeknight Dinner
The following excerpt and recipe for Caramelized Red Onion Pasta is from Michal Korkosz's new cookbook "POLISH'D: Modern Vegetarian Cooking from Global Poland," available now on Amazon.
If you’ve never had noodles with caramelized onions, now is the time to try them. My favorite variation includes panfried tomato paste, sun-dried tomatoes, and a dash of soy sauce — big sources of umami flavor. It’s as thrilling and satisfying as a first kiss! Top the pasta with parsley tossed in lemon juice and smoked Twaróg, or farmer cheese, to give it even more flavor and zing.
