Step 1

In a large non-stick frying pan, add margarine (or butter) and oil.  Over medium-high heat, melt margarine.  Once melted, add onion, fry 4-5min; until onion softened and slightly browned around the edges. Set aside and prepare pasta.

Stir through parmesan, season with salt and pepper. Serve while hot.

Serving Suggestion:
