Step by stepInstructions

1. Melt 2 tbsp of the butter in a skillet over medium-low heat; add the onions and cook, stirring often, until deeply golden and caramelized, about 20 minutes. Set aside.
2. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the potatoes and cook 5 minutes, then add the pasta and cook until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta water, then drain.
3. Return the pasta and potatoes to the pot over low heat; add the cream, cheese, nutmeg, salt, and pepper, stirring until the cheese melts into a creamy sauce. Loosen with pasta water if needed.
4. Serve in warm bowls topped with the caramelized onions and a generous spoonful of applesauce on the side.
