Caramelized Onion Chicken Pasta 🍝 My wife said if I made pasta one more time she’d leave me… so naturally I made pasta. This one’s got deeply caramelized onions, garlic, seared chicken, and a creamy sauce with a little heat from chili oil and crushed red pepper. It looks like a lot of work, but it comes together in one pan—and it might be the best pasta I’ve made all year. Let me know what I should turn into dinner next. #pasta #caramelizedonion #chickenpasta #Recipe #comfortfood
