6 tbsps unsalted butter
1/2 cup finely chopped onions
6 garlic cloves, coarse chop
1 cups chicken stock
2 tbsps chopped fresh rosemary
1 pound fettuccine or spaghetti
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
3 tbsp kosher salt
ground pepper to taste

Melt 4 tbsps butter in large pan over medium heat. Add onions and cook until well carmelized about 7 to 10 minutes. Add garlic and cook an additional 2 minutes. In large pot bring 3 qts of water to a boil and add pasta. Cook 7-10 minutes.

While pasta is cooking add 1 cup of chicken stock and chopped rosemary to the onions. Increase the heat to medium high and cook until reduced by about a third, six to eight minutes.

When pasta is done drain well and add to pan with onion garlic rosemary. Add remaining 1 tbsp butter and cheese. Mix well until butter is mixed in then salt and pepper to taste.
 
Thanks:)
I know it's one of your standard pasta sauces but this is one of my favs..
Well, I love pasta point blank...lol. :mrgreen:
 
That sounds very good - I'm going to add it to my list of easily-assembled-dinners :) I' always have those ingredients on hand and it just might save me from resorting to take-out :)

Thanks for sharing!
 
Just wanted to come back and say that I made your recipe jusnikki and my family loved it!!

I picked up some shrimp to add in when I make it this week. My daughter loves shrimp and I think it would be great in your recipe :)
 
I'm glad they liked it..

I agree, this is would be good with shrimp (which I don't eat, lol) or some other types of meat. I usually make it along with grilled chicken breast. But can easily eat it alone. Thanks for letting me know you liked it. :)
 
You've solved the question of what I'm making for lunch (which is the time the rest of you eat supper). I didn't make the pasta alla carbonara yesterday, and had 2 eggs for breakfast, so eggs again are out for today. I have also had almost my allotment of protein for the day (22 grams/55).

Jess, I made it with shrimp tonight and the pasta and sauce stole the show.......I love shrimp, but next time I won't bother with it. Good grief, did I really say I won't bother with shrimp?? :ermm:

The recipe is outstanding as written Nicky!! My husband went ape!:ohmy:

ps.....I used angel hair pasta
 
Nice recipe JN. Can olive oil be substituted for some or all of the butter? How many main course portions is you recipe intended for?
Aglio e olio can be dressed up in innumerable ways. For example, it can benefit from the addition of porcini and peperoncini.

YUMMY!! The only thing I might add would be a bit of fresh mince flat leaf parsley and a grind of hot pepper flakes.
 
Made this tonight. It was fabulous Nikki. DH raved. It reminded me of a clam linguini recipe I use. Sans the clams of course! I will admit, I added a small amount of seasoned sausage meat that needed to get used,(the rosemary when really well with that) but I could tell that it was a great recipe made as written. Thank you Nikki!

I'm making this tonight! It sounds so good but I will be skipping the rosemary and go with parsley instead.
