It does sound might delicious Liz!
One of my favorite walla walla recipes is not fancy, is very simple and quick
but it only tastes right with very sweet onions.
Makes about 6 large servings.
Dice 1 or 2 large walla walla onions
julienne or dice thin sliced proscuitto or other ham (I often use lowfat
turkey ham)
coarse ground black pepper (I like a lot so I add about 1 rounded tsp or so)
few red pepper flakes (about 1/8 tsp)
slowly saute everything in 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil until the onions start
to carmelize.
While sauteing the onions, boil 1 lb of your favorite pasta, I prefer penne
rigate or rotini, adding large pieces of chopped broccoli with the pasta.
Believe it or not the veggies are just perfect when the pasta is done, not
mushy or over cooked. Just before the noodles are done take 1 or 2 cups of
the pasta water and add to the onions and ham and simmer while the pasta
finishes. Drain pasta, toss with the onion/ham sauce, add basil (if you use
dry add it with the water) top with parmesean and serve.
