Step-by-Step Instructions
- Melt ¼ cup of unsalted butter over medium-high heat in a large skillet. Add thinly sliced yellow onions, season with kosher salt and black pepper, and sauté for 25-30 minutes until golden brown.
- Add another ½ cup of unsalted butter to the skillet with cooked onions. Stir continuously on medium heat until the butter turns chestnut brown, about 3-5 minutes. Remove from heat.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook linguine according to package instructions until al dente, about 8-10 minutes. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water, then drain and set aside.
- In a food processor, combine caramelized onions and browned butter with ½ cup reserved pasta water. Blend until smooth and creamy.
- Return the skillet to low heat, add the blended onion mixture, pour in heavy whipping cream and Parmesan cheese. Stir gently until melted and warm.
- Add the cooked linguine to the skillet, tossing gently to coat in the creamy sauce. Add reserved pasta water, one tablespoon at a time, for desired consistency.
- Serve hot, garnished with more grated Parmesan and chopped parsley. Enjoy every creamy bite!

Notes
Caramelizing onions takes time; be patient and stir occasionally. Reserve pasta water for sauce consistency adjustments.
