Method

1

Cook the radiatori in a pan of salted water.

2

Finely slice a small white onion and 2 cloves of garlic.

3

Heat 3 tablespoons of olive oil in a pan and sauté the onion over medium heat until soft and caramelised, about 12 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for an additional 3 minutes.

4

Remove the onion and garlic from the pan and set aside.

5

Add the butter to the pan and cook over medium-high heat, swirling occasionally, until it begins to foam and turns golden brown. If it’s black rather than brown, you went too far!

6

Stir in the zest of 1 lemon, the cooked onion and garlic, the juice of 1/4 lemon, parmesan and the cooked pasta. Add a splash of pasta water to loosen the sauce if needed.

7

Plate the pasta and top with freshly ground black pepper and grated cheese.
