Ingredients:
2 ounce(s) angel hair pasta |
2 tablespoon(s) butter |
3 tablespoon(s) sweet onion chopped |
1 clove(s) garlic minced |
2/3 cup(s) heavy cream |
1/4 cup(s) parmesan cheese grated |
1/4 cup(s) fresh basil chopped |
1 pinch(s) salt and ground black pepper to taste |
Directions:
1. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add the angel hair pasta and cook for 8-10 minutes or until al dente. Once done, set aside 1/2 cup of the pasta water, then drain the pasta in a colander in the sink. Keep warm. While the pasta is cooking, melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the onion, and cook for 3 minutes, then stir in the garlic, and continue cooking until the onion has softened and turned translucent, 1-2 minutes more. Pour in the heavy cream, and stir in the parmesan cheese, basil, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer for 2 minutes. Dilute with the reserved pasta water if the sauce is too thick for your taste. Pour the sauce over the angel hair pasta to serve.
