Spaghetti with Caramelized Onion and Radicchio

Ingredients
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 6 cups thinly sliced yellow onion (about 1 3/4 pounds)
  • 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper
  • 6 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/2 cup dry white wine
  • 1 pound uncooked spaghetti
  • 3 1/2 cups thinly sliced radicchio (about 1 head)
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
  • 2 teaspoons chopped fresh oregano
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 3/4 cup (3 ounces) crumbled Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese

Preparation

1. Heat oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add onion; sauté 15 minutes or until almost tender, stirring frequently. Reduce heat to medium-low; cook until deep golden (about 20 minutes), stirring occasionally. Add red pepper and garlic. Cook 3 minutes; stir occasionally. Add wine; cook 4 minutes or until liquid evaporates.

2. Cook pasta according to package directions, omitting salt and fat. Drain pasta in a colander over a bowl, reserving 1/2 cup cooking liquid. Add reserved cooking liquid, pasta, radicchio, parsley, and oregano to onion mixture. Sprinkle with salt and black pepper; toss to combine. Top with cheese.
