Your slow cooker does all the work caramelizing the onions for this satisfying pasta carbonara.
Ingredients
2 onions, chopped or thinly sliced
2 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp butter
375 g dried spaghetti
3 large eggs, lightly beaten
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
To taste black pepper
Instructions
COMBINE onions, oil and butter in a 4- to 6-quart slow cooker. Cover and cook on low for 8 hrs or until deep golden, stirring once or twice if you’re around and think of it.
IN a large pot of boiling salted water, cook spaghetti until it’s al dente. Drain, reserving about ½ cup cooking water. Dump drained pasta into the slow cooker and turn it up to high. Drizzle eggs over top and toss with tongs, adding a splash of pasta water to lubricate things, until pasta is saucy and eggs are cooked. Add parmesan and pepper; toss until heated through. Serve immediately.
