- 1 pound pasta
- 2 large onions, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions
- Cook pasta according to package directions.

Notes
- For a richer flavor, add a knob of butter to the onions during the last few minutes of cooking.
- Feel free to add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a little heat.
