- 12 oz spaghetti or pasta of choice
- 2 tbsp olive oil or butter
- 2 medium yellow onions thinly sliced
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese plus extra for garnish
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- ½ cup reserved pasta water as needed
Cook pasta in salted boiling water until al dente. Reserve ½ cup pasta water, then drain.
In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat and caramelize onions until golden and soft, about 10-12 minutes.
In a bowl, whisk eggs with Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper.
Add the hot pasta to the skillet with onions. Reduce heat to low and pour in the egg mixture. Toss quickly to coat, adding pasta water as needed for creaminess.
Serve immediately, garnished with extra Parmesan and black pepper.
