Add onion and cook for approximately 5-6 until softened. Stir as necessary (do not brown) cook slow and low until soften.
Add sliced garlic and continue to cook over medium for another 3-4 minutes.

Cook pasta until al dente. When done reserve ¼ cup pasta water.
While pasta is cooking add crème fraîche and season with salt and pepper.
Continue cooking on low an additional 3-4 minutes.
Add pasta directly from the pot into the sauce to combine and stir to coat.
