Viral Caramelised Onion Pasta

INGREDIENTS

500g pasta shells, boiled until al-dente
Caramelised Onions3 large onions, sliced½ cup oil, or a little morePinch of salt
Sauce2 tablespoons butter1 teaspoon maizena (corn flour)125ml fresh cream 3 cups milk1 tablespoon coarsely ground black pepper2-3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce, to taste1 level teaspoon salt1 tablespoon Italian herbs 1 level teaspoon garlic powder
Chilli flakes, optional½ cup grated cheese, optional

METHOD

(Set aside a full hour for caramelising the onions.)
Heat up a large pot on medium heat, add in the oil (enough to generously cover the bottom). Now add in the onions and a pinch of salt. Allow to cook, stirring periodically, until the onions are an even, dark golden brown. This will take a minimum 45 minutes. Lower the heat if they are cooking too fast, you don't want to burn them.Remove from heat and cool slightly. Drain and reserve excess oil for use elsewhere, it is very flavourful!
To a liquidiser jug, add all the sauce ingredients and the onions. Puree till smooth then add to a pot and heat until warmed through. Taste and adjust salt and acid.
Finally, add in pasta shells that have been boiled in well-salted water.You can add a little pasta water to loosen up the sauce if needed.Add some grated mozzarella cheese and a sprinkle of chilli flakes if desired.
Serve immediately with crumbed mushrooms, a garden salad and protein of choice- steak would be fantastic🔥
