Directions:1. Saute the onions, marjoram, and thyme in the oil in a large skillet over low heat for at least 45 minutes, until very soft.
2. In the meantime, prepare the topping. Toast the pine nuts in a small, dry nonstick pan over medium heat until light golden. Reserve in a small bowl. Using the same nonstick pan, toast the bread crumbs over medium heat, stirring frequently, until they are golden brown. Add the bread crumbs to the toasted pine nuts and reserve.
3. Bring a large pot of salted boiling water to a boil.
4. After the onions have cooked for 45 minutes, raise the temperature to high and caramelize them for 8-10 minutes. Add the wine and honey, and continue cooking on high until most of the wine has evaporated. Remove the onion mixture from heat and stir in vinegar. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
5. Drop the pasta into the boiling water and cook according to package directions, then drain. In a large bowl, toss the cooked spaghetti with the onion sauce and minced herbs. Top with the pine nut and bread crumb mixture and serve immediately.
