#tiktokfood #asmr Creamy Chili Crisp and Caramelized Onion Spaghetti 🧅🍜 Serves 4-6 Ingredients For the sauce:
115 g butter, divided
30 ml olive oil
400 g white onion, thinly sliced
24 g garlic, finely minced
30-60 ml chili crisp, depending on your heat preference
85 g honey
60 ml soy sauce
5 g paprika
3 g garlic powder
2 g ground black pepper
1 g dried Italian seasoning
320 ml half-and-half
100 g freshly grated Parmesan For the pasta and serving:
450 g dry thin spaghetti
Salt for the pasta water
250 ml reserved pasta water, as needed
Chopped fresh parsley
Extra chili crisp, to finish Method 1. Melt half the butter with the olive oil in a wide skillet over medium-low heat. Add the onions and cook for 20-30 minutes, stirring regularly, until softened and lightly golden. Lower the heat if they begin browning too quickly. 2. When the onions are nearly ready, cook the spaghetti in salted boiling water until al dente. Before draining, scoop out 250 ml of the cooking water and set it aside. 3. Stir the remaining butter and garlic into the onions. Cook for about 1 minute, just until the garlic becomes fragrant. 4. Add the chili crisp, honey and soy sauce, stirring to distribute everything through the onions. 5. Turn the heat to low. Stir in the half-and-half, paprika, garlic powder, black pepper and Italian seasoning. Let the sauce gently simmer for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Avoid a vigorous boil. 6. Add the Parmesan in small handfuls, stirring until each addition melts into the sauce. 7. Transfer the drained spaghetti to the skillet and toss thoroughly. Add the reserved pasta water a little at a time, using only enough to make the sauce coat the noodles smoothly. 8. Divide among plates and finish with chopped parsley and an extra spoonful of chili crisp. Serve immediately.
