Once they are caramelized, set aside some of the onions for garnishing. Step 3: Boil the pasta. Then drain but save the pasta water. Step 4: Add the cashew cream to the caramelized onions. Add pepper and salt to taste. Thin the sauce out with pasta water as needed. Step 5: Add the pasta to the sauce. Step 6: Mix well until the pasta is coated in the sauce.
