Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup white wine vinegar
  • 2 tbsp. olive oil
  • 1 tbsp. minced fresh thyme
  • 1 tbsp. Dijon
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 3 large sweet onions, sliced into 1/2-inhc-thick rounds
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan
  • 1/4 cup white wine vinegar
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley leaves
  • 2 tbsp. olive oil
  • 2 tbsp. buttermilk

  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 8 oz. dry campanelle pasta
  • 1 1/2 cups sliced radicchio
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
  • 2 tbsp. capers

Directions

  1. For the marinade, whisk together 1/2 cup vinegar, 2 tbsp. oil, 1 tbsp. thyme, Dijon and 1 tsp salt. Place onions in a dish in a single layer and pour marinade over top; marinate 45 minutes, turning halfway through.

  2. For the dressing, puree Parmesan, 1/4 cup vinegar, parsley leaves, 2 tbsp. oil, buttermilk, 2 tsp Dijon, anchovy paste, and garlic in a mini food processor; season with salt and pepper.

  3. Preheat grill to medium. Brush grill grate with oil.

  4. For the pasta, cook campanelle in a large pot of boiling salted water as directed; drain and transfer to a large bowl.

  5. Grill onions, covered, until tender and charred on both sides, 5-6 minutes per side, brushing with marinade periodically. Transfer onions back to marinade; when cool enough to handle, chop.

  6. Add onions, radicchio, chopped parsley, capers, and dressing to campanelle, tossing to coat; season with salt and pepper.
