1
Heat the olive oil in a frying pan and add the finely sliced red onion. Fry over medium heat for 4 minutes.
2
Incorporate the minced garlic, fresh thyme leaves, and chili flakes into the pan, then reduce the heat to low.
3
Let it simmer for another 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure the ingredients don't stick to the pan.
4
Pour in the balsamic vinegar and honey, stirring well. Allow the mixture to simmer for an additional 5 minutes until the onions are beautifully caramelized.
5
In a separate pan, cook the penne pasta until it's al dente, following the packet instructions.
6
Reserve 3 tbsp of the pasta's cooking water, then drain the rest.
7
Combine the cooked pasta, reserved cooking water, caramelized onion mixture, and crumbled goat cheese in the pasta's pan. Toss everything together until the cheese has created a creamy sauce coating the pasta.
8
Plate your pasta and finish with a sprinkling of roughly chopped walnuts. For an extra kick, add more chili flakes to taste.
