- Melt the butter in medium saucepan set over a medium heat. Add the onions and thyme leaves and cook for 45-50 mins, stirring occasionally, until the onions are very soft and a deep golden colour. Add the wine to the pan, cook for 2-3 mins, then stir in the stock. Bring to the boil and simmer for 10 mins.
- Meanwhile, blend the bread in a food processor until it resembles a rough crumb. Heat the oil in a frying pan over a medium heat. Add the breadcrumbs and fry for 5-6 mins until evenly golden. Remove from the heat, toss through the parsley and season to taste with freshly ground black pepper.
- Bring a large pan of water to the boil and cook the pasta according to pack instructions. Drain, reserving a mug of the cooking water, return to the pan and toss through the slow cooked onions. Add a splash of cooking water, if needed to loosen the sauce.
- Divide between 4 plates and serve topped with the fried breadcrumbs and cheese.
