Servings: persons

1 red onion, chopped
2 tablespoons sugar
1 bunch broccoli floret
1/2 cup butter
1 pint heavy whipping cream
1 1/2 cups milk
8 ounces parmesan cheese
3 egg whites
1 teaspoon cornstarch, if egg whites don't thicken it enough (optional)
1 tablespoon black pepper
2 tablespoons dried parsley
1 lb pasta

1
Saute onion until translucent, add sugar and cook until slightly brown. Drain and set aside.
2
Steam broccoli while onion is cooking. Drain and set aside.
3
Melt butter over medium heat, making sure not to brown it at all.
4
Add 1/2 cheese and stir until completely smooth.
5
Add whipping cream and milk, bring almost to a boil.
6
Add pepper and parsley.
7
Add remaining cheese and egg whites. Stir until completely smooth and melted (should no longer appear grainy). This may take a little while, but you will know when it's happened because sauce will begin to look fluffy.
8
If it's not thick enough combine cornstarch with a little bit of milk and add.
9
Once the sauce is thick enough for you (and it will continue to thicken as it sits) stir in the onions and steamed broccoli, Serve over your favorite pasta.
