ONION AND YOGURT SPAGHETTI
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.

- 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.

PASTA WITH YOGURT AND CARAMELIZED ONIONS FROM KASSOS
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.

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.
