All types of onions---shallots for milder taste, Vidalia, Maui, or red onion for sweeter onion flavor, and yellow or Spanish onions for stronger, pungent onion flavor. Green onions & chives for garnish. Leeks for potato leek soup, vichysoisse, or
braised.

I cook with either Yellow onions or shallots.

I've never really heard of red onion in spaghetti. Red onion is more for sandwiches. It has too sweet of a flavor for most recipes.

green yellow white red mild to strong you can used whatever you want their all good but id try the recipe like it calls for first.... if it just says onion id used yellow

I usually use yellow or white.

Purple onions.... mmmmm....

I think that yellow would work best.

I use red ones.. they are sweet. But to use for spaghetti, I suggest white onions.

i use what is ever in the house. if i run out of yellow i go to red or if we bought red cause they were on sale i would use red. shallots i use on specal occasions for special recipies. and i use green onions most of the time as garnishes and the same with chives... but they all taste good to me and my family so no one really cared where or what kind i use

I cook with the red onion also but for pasta i use a sweet onion or a shallot too... any of them work as long as it isnt a strong onion...

Sweet onions most of the time.
Red onions for salads though.

Purple is the best for flavor.

I normally use yellow for casseroles and pasta sauces.

Generally large Spanish

Usually yellow...

I usually use yellow onions--I just like the sweet taste they have when you cook them.

I cook with a red onion.
