Pasta with Caramelized Onions and Bitter Greens Directions
- Heat oil and butter in a large heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onions to the pan and sprinkle with sugar. Cook, stirring just once or twice, until well browned, 10-12 minutes. Lower the heat to low, and continue to cook, stirring occasionally until very soft and tender, about 10 more minutes.
- Transfer the onions to a bowl and set aside. Pour the broth or water into the skillet and bring to a boil over high heat. Cook, scraping the bottom of the pan, for 10 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Cook the pasta in plenty of boiling salted water until a bit under-done. Drain. Add the pasta to the skillet, then add the greens. Cook, covered, until the greens are wilted, about 1 minute.
- Divide among 4 bowls and serve topped with the reserved onions and serve.
