Sounds AMAZING !!! Great weekend treat I will be making..
Well, I do like crunchy onions. ..but to each their own. Crunchy onions and tomatoes lend to a fresh taste. Where as cooked onions and pasta sauce is something different entirely. We are all individuals. ..
This was an interesting recipe. I did need to tweak it a bit because it was not very yummy before. If you don't like crunchy onions I recommend cooking the onions longer before adding the cheese. I added more salt than the recipe called for. I also added more water and since I didn't have tomatoes I added some regular pasta sauce to it to give it the moisture it needed to stay together. I put it together on a sandwich with a garlicy parmesean mayo and top my sandwich with sweet peppers and mushrooms.
