Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Thinly slice the red onions.
- Mince the garlic cloves.
- Finely chop the fresh sage.
- Measure out all other ingredients.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
- Add the sliced red onions to the skillet and cook slowly, stirring occasionally, until they become soft and caramelized, about 15-20 minutes.
- Once the onions are caramelized, add the minced garlic and chopped sage to the skillet.
- Stir well and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the garlic is fragrant and the sage is slightly crispy.
- Pour the vinegar into the skillet and stir well to combine with the onions, garlic, and sage. Cook for another 2 minutes to let the flavors meld together. Remove the skillet from heat and set aside.
- While the onions are caramelizing, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
- Add the buckwheat pasta and cook according to the package instructions, usually about 8-10 minutes until al dente.
- During the last 2 minutes of the pasta cooking time, add the peas to the boiling water.
- Drain the pasta and peas together, reserving about 1/2 cup of the pasta cooking water.
- Add the drained pasta and peas to the skillet with the caramelized onions mixture.
- Toss everything together well, adding a bit of the reserved pasta cooking water if necessary to achieve your desired consistency.
- Sprinkle the grated parmesan cheese over the top and toss again briefly to combine.
- Serve the buckwheat pasta with caramelized onion and peas immediately, garnishing with extra parmesan cheese and fresh sage if desired.
Tips:
- Slice the onions thinly to ensure they caramelize evenly and develop a deep, sweet flavor.
- Use fresh or frozen peas for the best taste and texture.
- Cook the pasta until it’s al dente to maintain a pleasant bite.
- Save a little pasta cooking water to adjust the consistency of the sauce if needed.
- Top with extra Parmesan cheese or fresh sage leaves for an added touch of flavor and presentation.
This hearty and flavorful buckwheat pasta dish is a perfect blend of savory and sweet flavors, enhanced by the richness of caramelized onions and the freshness of peas. Topped with a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese, it's a delightful meal that will surely become a favorite. Enjoy your cooking experience with this simple yet delicious recipe!
