Step-by-Step Instructions

Bring a large pot of well-salted water to a boil. Cook the tagliatelle until al dente according to the package directions. Reserve about 1 cup of the pasta water before draining.

While the pasta cooks, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced red onion and cook for 2 to 3 minutes until softened. Stir in the crushed garlic and cook for 30 seconds, just until fragrant.

Add the creme fraiche, lemon juice, grated Parmesan, and about 1/2 cup of the reserved pasta water to the skillet. Stir well and let the sauce simmer gently for 1 minute until smooth and lightly thickened.
