#302 french onion pasta

3 large shallots (~3/4 lb), peeled and sliced thin
1 large clove garlic (minced)
olive oil (~1 tbsp)
butter (~1/2 tbsp)

1/2 lb pasta

Over low heat saute shallots and garlic for ~20-25 mins until golden brown. Then boil pasta. When pasta is aldente, add ~1/2 cup of the cooking water to the onions (scraping the brown bits off the bottom of the pan) and then drain the pasta. Toss pasta with onions/water mixture. Let sit 2-3 mins so pasta soaks up the water and finishes cooking.
