Author: 
 
Ingredients
  • 5 TBSP extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 red onion, chopped
  • ½ of a head of radicchio (halved through core) julienned and then roughly chopped
  • 2 tsp minced garlic
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp cracked black pepper
  • ¼ tsp red pepper flakes
  • 2 TBSP basil infused oil ( I use Devo Olive Oil)
  • 3-4 TBSP heavy cream
  • 3 TBSP unsalted butter
  • ¼ cup grated parmesan cheese and more for topping when served
Instructions
  1. In a large skillet, heat the 6 TBSP evoo over medium to low heat and saute the onion for 8-10 minutes. Add in the radicchio and minced garlic. Cook for another 5-7 minutes uncovered then cover and turn to low and cook for another 5 minutes until the radicchio is wilted and slightly charred, turning occasionally, about 5 minutes and the onions caramelized.
  2. Meanwhile, boil your pasta according to the package directions making sure to salt the pot while you are bringing the water to a boil. Once the noodles are tender and ready, reserve ⅛ cup of pasta water and then drain the rest.
  3. When the onions and radicchio are ready add in the seasonings and basil infused oil. Stir. Next add in the butter and allow it to melt. Then add in the cream, 4 TBSP (1/4 cup) pasta water and the cheese. Toss with the noodles and serve with additional cheese on top!
