onion must be fried till it is just on the point of turning brown, when it should be taken out of the frying-pan. The frying-pan should correspond to that used for mak- ing omelets ; it must not be burnt, other- wise the butter will turn dark, and ap- pear like “nut-brown butter,” or, as it is sometimes called, “black butter.” The onions should be fried tender, but the butter should be kept the same colour as the sauce. Now pour the con- tents of the frying-pan over the maca- roni already boiled tender. Add a little pepper ana salt, and toss it lightly to- gether. Some grated Parmesan or Other cheese can then bo added
