Indulge in a symphony of flavors with this tantalizing balsamic fetucini recipe. The savory caramelized red onion and jalapenio medley combined with the sweetness of herbs and a splash of red wine create a rich and aromatic sauce that hugs each strand of pasta.

Ingredients

  • 250g balsamic fetucini (HINT: if you can't find this type of pasta, use plain fetuccini but add balsamic vinegar to the water where you boil the pasta)
  • About 1 tbsp of olive oil
  • 1 medium red onion, sliced
  • 1 jalapenio, sliced
  • 3 tbsp sugar
  • A good quality red wine, I recommend a strongish wine(amount to taste)
  • 2 tbsp malt vinegar
  • Thyme, basil and salt to taste
  • Grated parmesan to garnish

Instructions

  • Boil pasta until al dente.
  • Meanwhile, on a large skillet or wok, heat the olive oil and saute the onion with the jalapenioo for a couple of mins. Add sugar, a good splash of wine (I use about 1/4 cup), vinegar and a sprinkle of salt. Reduce heat and let all the ingredients simmer for about 7 mins, until all the alcohol from the wine has evaporated (this is why it's important to use a good wine) and the sugar has melted; you want that onion to be dark and sticky.
  • Add the cooked pasta to the caramelized onion, mix well and toss in the thyme and basil. Garnish with grated parmesan.
