  This was a quick and tasty simple supper. Super easy to make and the flavour of the caramelised onions was lovely.

  This was really tasty. I tried to keep my onions in neat wedges, but that didn't really work! Was a great flavour combination.

  This is delicious! I'm not even a huge blue cheese fan but absolutely love this recipe. I added some grilled bacon and used chopped pecans instead of pine nuts and my other half couldn't get enough of it. Have made it twice already and will def be making it again.

  Really nice. I have cooked this many times and used feta instead of the blue cheese which also works. Easy midweek meal.

  I found it quite tasty but a bit too rich and greasy for the rest of the family.

  This is a simple recipe and I enjoyed it very much but my husband didn't. I added some smoked bacon and cherry tomatoes as I needed to use them up.

  Loved this recipe, very quick and easy, although I did add some smoked bacon as previously suggested and also some cherry tomatoes. Excellent will definitely be making this again.

  Divine! Really let my onions caramelise down over the course of an hour or so on a very very low heat and they were just gorgeous. I used St Agur Spreadable blue cheese and melted it into the pasta along with a slug of the pasta water before stirring through the onions and sprinkling with the pine nuts (which were, in mine and the hubby's opinion, essential for the crunch factor). Yum!

  Quick and easy dish. A perfect meal to make after a hard day at work. I added a little more sugar to the onions and like someone else used pecans instead of pine nuts. I'll definitely be making this again.
