In this delightful dish, cream sauce that is inflected with onions and saffron cloaks pasta that's been cooked al dente; then, it's garnished with thyme and grated Parmesan. The saffron lends its yellow hue, while the Parmesan imparts nuttiness and a salty bite. Collectively, the dish feels special even though it's not taxing to prepare. Use stracci or maltagliati if you can.

I used fresh, chopped basil and oregano to add brightness to this dish and doubled the cream, butter and cheese. I also minced and sautéed some garlic to add to the sauce. This recipe is a great base to top
