Instructions

Cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil and butter over medium heat. Add onions, sugar, and salt. Cook for about 25-30 minutes, stirring occasionally until onions are golden brown.
Stir in minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.
If using, pour in white apple vinegar to deglaze the pan, scraping up any browned bits. Simmer for a few minutes until most vinegar evaporates.
Add broth and cream to the skillet; stir well and simmer for about 5 minutes until slightly thickened.
Stir in grated Parmesan cheese until melted; season with salt and pepper to taste.
Toss cooked pasta with the sauce until evenly coated.
Serve garnished with fresh parsley and additional Parmesan if desired.
