Prepare ingredients
Peel and thinly slice onions. Mince garlic cloves finely.
Caramelise onions
Heat olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add sliced onions and cook slowly until deep golden brown, about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Cook pasta
While onions are caramelising, bring a large pot of salted water to boil and cook spaghetti according to package directions until al dente.
Add garlic and spices
When onions are caramelised, add minced garlic, chili flakes and black pepper. Cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Combine pasta and sauce
Drain cooked pasta, reserving 1 cup pasta water. Add pasta to the onion mixture with butter and 1/2 cup pasta water. Toss well to combine and create creamy sauce.
Finish and serve
Remove from heat, add grated parmesan and toss until melted and creamy. Season with salt to taste and serve immediately.
