CREAMY PASTA WITH CARAMELISED ONION AND SALSICCIA

ingredients

• 400 g Nonna Elide Salsicciafärs Original
• 1 tbsp Nonna Elide Extra Virgin Olive Oil
• 3 yellow onions
• 1 tbsp butter
• 2 garlic cloves
• 3 tbsp sun-dried tomatoes
• 1 tsp dark soy sauce
• 5 dl whipping cream
• 1 dl grated parmesan
• 1 handful fresh parsley, finely chopped
• 400 g pasta, any shape
• 1 dl pasta water
• 1–2 tsp salt
• 1 tsp freshly ground black pepper

how to make it

• Heat the olive oil in a large pan and fry the salsicciafärs over medium-high heat until nicely coloured. Set it aside.
• Slice the onions. Add a little more olive oil to the pan and add the onions over medium heat. Fry for about 10 minutes, stirring almost constantly — the onions should soften and sweeten, not burn.
• Add the butter, salt and pepper, and keep stirring for another 8 minutes or so, until the onions are dark, glossy and almost jam-like.
• Finely chop the garlic and the sun-dried tomatoes, add them to the pan and fry for a minute.
• Return the salsicciafärs to the pan and stir.
• Pour in the soy sauce and the cream, then add the parmesan. Let the sauce simmer for a few minutes.
• Cook the pasta al dente. Lift it into the pan along with the pasta water and let everything simmer for a few minutes, until the sauce has thickened and coats the pasta. Season with salt and pepper.
• Serve at once, topped with extra grated parmesan and fresh parsley.

nonna's tip

Don't rush the onions — they are the foundation of the whole dish. Burnt, they go from sweet to bitter and there is no saving them. Keep the heat medium and stir often.
