This recipe is sophisticated, but tastes really down-home. Also, when I reheat it, I add more parm and some butter. It was fantastic the second time around too. Ingredients:
1/4 cup butter, cubed |
2 large sweet onions |
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes |
1/8 teaspoon salt |
8 garlic cloves, minced |
2 cups grape tomatoes, halved |
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar |
1/4 cup olive oil, divided |
8 ounces angel hair pasta (uncooked) |
1 (1 lb) package bacon, cooked and crumbled |
3/4 cup shredded parmesan cheese |
1/2 teaspoon coursely ground pepper |
fresh basil leaf (optional) |
Directions:
1. In a large skillet, over medium heat, melt butter. Add onions, pepper flakes and salt; saute until onions are tender. Stir in garlic. Reduce heat to low; cook, stirring occasionally, for 30-40 minutes or until the onions are a deep golden brown.
2. Add the grape tomatoes, vinegar and 2 Tbsp oil to the skillet. Meanwhile, cook pasta according to package directions. Drain pasta; Toss with onion mixture.
3. Drizzle with remaining olive oil. Sprinkle with bacon and Parmesan cheese and pepper and heat through. Garnish with fresh basil, if desired.
