SPICY SPAGHETTI WITH CARAMELIZED ONIONS AND HERBS
Except perhaps for the fresh herbs, you probably have all the necessary ingredients to make this incredibly flavorful, easy pasta. The caramelized onions add sweetness to the salty olives and Parmesan, while red chile and garlic make the dish's flavors pungent and deep. A squeeze of fresh lemon right at the end brightens everything, adding a mild tang. Feel free to play around with the basic formula, swapping capers or even a small tin of sardines or tuna for olives, vinegar for the lemon, arugula or spinach for the parsley, and other cheeses (feta or pecorino) for the Parmesan.

Steps:
- Put a large pot of heavily salted water on and let it come to a boil.
- Meanwhile, cook the onions: Heat 1/4 cup oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium heat. Add onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender and pale golden at the edges, 20 to 25 minutes. Lower heat if the edges start to brown too quickly or raise heat if onions aren't turning golden quickly enough.
- When the water comes to a boil, cook spaghetti according to package directions until just al dente. Reserve 1 cup pasta water; drain pasta.
- Thinly slice 4 garlic cloves, and stir into golden onions, along with red-pepper flakes. Continue to cook until onions are a rich brown, about 10 minutes longer. If the garlic starts to burn, lower the heat.
- Finely grate remaining garlic cloves, and mash into anchovies using the flat side of your knife. Move some of the onion mixture to the side of the pan and add anchovy paste to bare spot in the skillet. Cook paste for 1 minute, then add herbs and olives, stir everything together, and cook another 1 minute.
- Stir in cooked pasta, butter, and salt to taste, tossing to coat pasta. Add pasta water if it looks dry. Serve with a generous squeeze of lemon, and sprinkle with Parmesan and more chile on top, if desired.

CARAMELIZED ONION & GARLIC PASTA
This full-flavored recipe is the result of my mom's love of pasta and our love of cooking together. With a bit of pepper heat and smoky bacon, the entree is excellent alone or paired with grilled chicken. -Lacy Jo Matheson, Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan

- Heat a large sauté pan over medium heat. Add the olive oil. Once hot, add the red onion and shallot. Season with a pinch of salt. Cook for 8 minutes, stirring often, until tender and caramelized. Add a little bit more olive oil, and reduce the heat to low. Cook for another 8 minutes until the onions are deeply caramelized. Stir in the red fresno chiles and cook for about 3 minutes longer.
- While the onions cook, bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add a heaping amount of salt to the water. Drop the linguine and cook for 2 minutes less than the package instructions. Right before the linguine is ready, reserve 2 cups of pasta water.
- Add the butter to the spicy onion mixture and let melt. Pour in 1 cup of the pasta water. Let simmer for a minute or so. Drain the pasta and add it right into the pan. Toss to combine and finish cooking for another 2 minutes.
- Stir in the grated parmesan cheese. Mix really well while the cheese melts into the sauce. Continue to add more pasta water if needed to keep the sauce nice and silky. Stir in the oregano right before serving.
