Dinner 25 Mins.

Ingredients

1

1 servings

  • 2 ounces angel hair pasta
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 3 tablespoons chopped sweet onion
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • ⅔ cup heavy cream
  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • ¼ cup chopped fresh basil
  • 1 pinch salt and ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add the angel hair pasta and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente. Once done, set aside 1/2 cup of the pasta water, then drain the pasta in a colander in the sink. Keep warm.
  • While the pasta is cooking, melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the onion, and cook for 3 minutes, then stir in the garlic, and continue cooking until the onion has softened and turned translucent, 1 to 2 minutes more.
  • Pour in the heavy cream, and stir in the Parmesan cheese, basil, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer for 2 minutes. Dilute with the reserved pasta water if the sauce is too thick for your taste. Pour the sauce over the angel hair pasta to serve.
