Capellini Cake With Caramelized Onions And Cheese

 

Recipe By : Food & Wine Books: PASTA 1994

Serving Size : 4 Preparation Time :0:00

Categories : Pasta *Sent

 

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

2 tablespoons butter

2 tablespoons olive oil

3 onions -- sliced

1 1/2 teaspoons salt

1/2 pound capellini

OR angel hair pasta

2 eggs

34 cups grated parmesan cheese

1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley

1/4 teaspoon fresh-ground black pepper

 

1. In a large frying pan, melt 1 tablespoon of the butter with 1

tablespoon of the oil over low heat. Add the onions and 1/2 teaspoon of

the salt. Cover and cook the onions until very soft, about 20

minutes. Uncover the onions, increase the heat to moderately high and

cook, stirring frequently, until the onions are golden brown, about 10 minutes.

 

2. In a large pot of boiling, salted water, cook the pasta until just

done, about 3 minutes. Drain. Transfer the pasta to a large boil and let

cool slightly.

 

3. Beat the eggs. Add them to the pasta with the onions, cheese, parsley,

the remaining 1 teaspoon salt and the pepper and toss.

 

4. In a 12-inch nonstick frying pan, melt 1/2-tablespoon of the butter

with 1/2 tablespoon of the oil over moderately low heat. Add the capellini

mixture and press it down to form a flat cake. Cook until a crisp golden

crust forms on the bottom, about 15 minutes.

 

5. Place a large platter or baking sheet over the pan. Invert the pan so

the cake drops out. Melt the remaining 1/2 tablespoon butter with the

remaining 1/2 tablespoon oil in the pan over moderate heat. Slide the cake

back into the pan and cook until a golden crust forms on the other side,

about 5 minutes. Cut the calve into wedges and serve at once.

Notes: When fried in butter and olive oil, cooked pasta becomes crisp and

delicious. This golden cake, flavored with Parmesan and parsley, is a great

side-dish alternative to potatoes or rice.

I *love* parmesan cheese, but 34 cups ! Wow! <g>

 

I assume it's meant to be 3/4.
