Ingredients:

  • 7.04 oz ISOPASTA Fusilli
  • 4 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 4 onions, peeled and chopped
  • 1 tsp garlic salt
  • ½ c Parmigiano-Reggiano
  • 2 c 2% Greek Yogurt
  • ½ c pasta cooking water

Directions:

  1. Cook ISOPASTA Fusilli according to package directions.  In a fine mesh strainer, drain your fusilli when it is cooked to al dente.
  2. Meanwhile, in a large pan, heat your olive oil over medium.  Add the onions and sauté them, stirring often, until they are deeply caramelized.  They should be a glossy tan/brown color.  You may need to turn your heat down to medium low, depending on your stove, if they are browning too quickly.  This should take around 20-25 minutes.  Don’t rush it – good caramelized onions take time!
  3. While your onions are cooking and your pasta is boiling, whisk all remaining ingredients together until well blended.  (You can simply dip a measuring cup into your pasta to get the ½ c pasta water out.)
  4. When the onions and pasta are done, stir them into your sauce and enjoy!
