Directions

Made with 10 shallots per pound of whole wheat spaghetti, you
cannot believe the flavor of this pasta dish. It's like a bowl of French Onion Soup, hold
the broth. It's a knockout.

Ingredients

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive
oil
2 tablespoons butter
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
10 shallots, halved then thinly sliced
Salt and black pepper
1 pound whole-wheat spaghetti
A generous handful flat-leaf parsley, chopped
1 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano

Directions

Heat the extra-virgin olive

oil with the butter over medium-low heat in a skillet with high sides. Add garlic and
shallots and season with salt and pepper then cook gently until caramelized about 20
minutes, stirring occasionally.

Meanwhile heat a large pot of water to boil for pasta, salt the water very liberally then
add spaghetti and bring to a rolling boil. Cook to al dente. Add 2 ladles of starchy
cooking water, about 1 cup, to the shallots and stir. Drain pasta and add to shallots. Add
the parsley and cheese and more black pepper, to taste. Toss 1 to 2 minutes for liquid to
absorb and serve. WOW! Talk about yum-o!
