Prosciutto, Onion and Burrata Macaroni


The memories of walking into our Grandmothers house on a Sunday afternoon and welcoming scent of roasted onions that filled the house brings a smile to my face.   Although macaroni wasn't on her menu most of the time, onions almost always were.  Sundays, family and friends, is there anything better?
