How I Make Goat Cheese And Caramelized Onion Pasta
My mom bought and gave me a huge cheese collection when she was on her trip from the Netherlands. She knew how I love cheese! She came home with all sorts of cheeses such as young and aged Gouda, soft-ripened cheese like Brie or Camembert, smoked cheese, spreads, and even a beautiful goat cheese coated in lavender. Since goat cheese tends to have a shorter shelf life compared to the others, I figured I should use it up first. And what better way than to turn it into a pasta dish?
I’ve always loved the combo of goat cheese and caramelized onions. It’s a classic pairing on crostini. The tangy, creamy cheese meets sweet, jammy onions and it just works. So I thought, why not take that flavor duo and toss it with pasta? The result was rich, comforting, and surprisingly elegant. It was a little sweet, a little tangy, very easy to make and perfect for a cozy dinner at home.
