In a cast-iron skillet over medium heat, melt 2 Tablespoons of butter with 2 Tablespoons of extra-virgin olive oil. 2. Add the sliced onions and caramelize for 30 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes.

Add the caramelized onions, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, heavy cream, and 1/2 cup of reserved pasta water to the pan. 7. Mix and season with salt and pepper to taste. Allow the sauce to thicken slightly; if too thick, add more pasta water. 8. Add the cooked pasta to the sauce and mix well. 9. Top with mozzarella cheese, serve with breadcrumbs and fresh parsley.
