ONION AND YOGURT SPAGHETTI



Onion and Yogurt Spaghetti image

I copied and adjusted this recipe from a cookbook a long time ago. I make it every now and then when I get cravings for it and the kids love it as well. You can adjust the ingredients to your liking. I myself never measure anyway. You can use wide egg noodles, spaghetti or linguine.

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Pasta and Grains

Time 1h25m

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
3 pounds onions, halved and cut lengthwise into 1/4-inch-thick slices
5 sprigs fresh thyme
1 bay leaf
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
3 tablespoons dry white wine
1 pound whole-wheat spaghetti
3/4 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves
2 cups homemade yogurt or store-bought plain low-fat yogurt

Steps:

  • Combine oil, onions, thyme, bay leaf, and 1 teaspoon salt in a large saute pan; cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until onions are tender and golden brown, about 1 1/2 hours. If the pan becomes dry, add water, 1 tablespoon at a time, to prevent onions from burning.

  • Meanwhile, bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add pasta; cook until al dente. Drain. Stir pasta, parsley, and 1 teaspoon salt into onions; season with pepper.

PASTA WITH YOGURT AND CARAMELIZED ONIONS FROM KASSOS



Pasta With Yogurt and Caramelized Onions from Kassos image

According to Diane Kochilas, author of The Glorious Foods of Greece, from whom I adapted this recipe, you can find this dish, Makarounes Tis Kassou, in many of the Dodecanese Islands. She says it's one of the best and easiest dishes in Greek cooking--I don't know if that's true, but I know this is delicious--sweet onions, tart yogurt, lovely texture. The key is the right yogurt--use Greek yogurt if possible, sheep's milk yogurt is the best, or use plain yogurt that you sit in a sieve and drain until it becomes lovely and thick. The only thing missing from this dish is a bit of color and I have found that adding some fresh Greek oregano or some fresh thyme does wonders both in terms of taste and presentation.

Time 55m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 tablespoons unsalted butter
5 onions, peeled, halved and sliced thinly
1 lb fettuccine, preferably fresh
2 cups yogurt, sheep's milk
1 cup kefalotyri, coarsely grated (or substitute 1/2 cup coarsely grated gruyere and a 1/2 cup coarsely grated reggiano)
1/4 cup oregano (Greek or fresh)
1/4 cup thyme, fresh

Steps:

  • In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium high heat.
  • Add the sliced onions and stir to coat with the butter.
  • Reduce heat to medium and continue to cook the onions, stirring occasionally (don't let them stick) for about 45 minutes or until they are really brown and soft.
  • Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to boil and cook the pasta to desired doneness.
  • Mix the yogurt with 1/2 cup of the pasta water and mix well.
  • Add the yogurt mixture to the onions and stir in until the onions are evenly coated with the yogurt mixture.
  • Add the drained pasta and about half the cheese and toss.
  • Transfer to a serving bowl and garnish with the rest of the cheese and the herbs.

Tips:

  • Use a good quality yogurt. Greek yogurt or whole milk yogurt will give you the best results. Avoid low-fat or non-fat yogurt, as they will not be as thick and creamy.
  • Don't overcook the onions. They should be soft and translucent, but not browned.
  • Use a wide pan to cook the sauce. This will help the sauce to cook evenly and prevent it from sticking.
  • Season the sauce to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other spices to taste.
  • Serve the spaghetti immediately. The sauce will thicken as it cools, so it is best to serve it right away.

Conclusion:

This onion and yogurt spaghetti is a quick and easy weeknight meal that is sure to please the whole family. The sauce is creamy and flavorful, and the spaghetti is cooked to perfection. With a few simple ingredients, you can have a delicious and satisfying meal on the table in no time.
