It took a while, but they've finally shown up here in Knoxville. They make the best onion sauce for pasta of any onion out there. This is based on a
classic sauce from Italy, not sure what region but probably not the south.
Carmelize 3 lbs of thinly sliced Vidalias in olive oil and unsalted butter. When brown, add salt and some stock or stock + (white wine or dry Marsala), reduce by half. Serve over penne with minced Italian parley and cheese -- I like Gruyere and a little parmesan. With the Gruyere, it helps if your pasta bowl is ovenproof so you can pop it in a 500 degree oven for 3-4 minutes.
