Recipe Instructions:
-
Prepare Ingredients: Begin by gathering all the necessary ingredients for the recipe. Peel and slice the Spanish onions, mince the garlic cloves, and tear the basil leaves into small pieces.
-
Saute Onions: In a large skillet or frying pan, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat until the butter is melted and sizzling. Add the sliced Spanish onions to the pan and sauté them, stirring occasionally, until they turn golden brown and caramelized, which should take about 5-7 minutes.
-
Add Garlic: Once the onions have caramelized, add the minced garlic to the skillet and continue cooking for an additional 2 minutes, stirring constantly to prevent burning. The garlic will become fragrant and lightly golden in color.
-
Season and Simmer: Next, sprinkle the freshly ground black pepper over the onion and garlic mixture, followed by the torn basil leaves. Pour in the chicken broth, stirring well to combine all the ingredients. Allow the mixture to simmer gently for about 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together and the sauce to reduce slightly.
-
Cook Linguini: While the sauce is simmering, cook the linguini pasta according to the package instructions in a separate pot of boiling salted water. Cook the linguini until it is al dente, which typically takes around 8-10 minutes. Once cooked, drain the linguini and set it aside.
-
Combine and Toss: Once the sauce has simmered and thickened to your desired consistency, add the cooked linguini to the skillet with the onion and garlic mixture. Toss everything together gently, ensuring that the pasta is evenly coated with the flavorful sauce.
-
Add Parmesan Cheese: Sprinkle the grated parmesan cheese over the linguini and toss once more to incorporate the cheese evenly throughout the dish, allowing it to melt slightly and create a creamy coating.
-
Serve: Transfer the Onion and Garlic Linguini to serving plates or a large serving platter. Garnish with additional torn basil leaves and a sprinkle of freshly grated parmesan cheese, if desired. Serve immediately while still hot and enjoy the delicious flavors of this simple yet satisfying pasta dish!
