- Melt the butter in a large pot over low heat. Add the olive oil and onions. Cook for 15 to 20 minutes, until the onions have reduced significantly and caramelized. Don’t rush this step or turn up the heat, or the onions may burn.2 tablespoons unsalted butter, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 2 large white onions

- Stir in the heavy cream and Parmesan until the cheese melts. Bring the mixture back to a simmer, then stir in the cooked pasta.1 cup heavy cream, ½ cup parmesan cheese
- Serve immediately with minced thyme and toasted bread, if desired.
Notes
- I like to use a dry white wine such as Pinot Grigio or Sauvignon Blanc. A wine like Riesling is going to be too sweet.
- The white wine can be swapped with with broth if you'd rather not use wine.
- If possible, shred the parmesan cheese right off the block. It will melt so much better.
- Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or on the stovetop at low heat until warmed through.
