Penne with Caramelized Onions and Fontina
"The more caramelized onions the better I say!! This is good and the Fontina cheese is a nice change from parmesan. A colourful veggie and a small salad and dinner is served."

Wonderful! I loved the hint of sage in this. I also opted to use 1 1/2 cups of cheese, since I love Fontina. Delicious. :) -
Tebo, thanks to you and your recipes I have tried several new cheeses. Last time it was asiago, which I am now addicted to and this time its the fontina. This is a good recipe. I used 1 large Walla-Walla onion and 2 small Vadaillas. I think that probably added alot of extra flavor to this dish. I also used fresh sage. I didn't heat the oil before adding the onions. I was taught that if you heat the oil first, you fry the onions instead of starting the caramelization process. I enjoyed this very much and so did one of my employees. (she helped me eat the leftovers!) Thanks for a yummy recipe!
