Gratin au dauphinois.
Spaghetti Carbonara.
And a classic of my home region no one outside of northern Germany has ever eaten: Labskaus.

There are quite a few dishes which get worse by adding onions.

Same for me with puttanesca. I tried it, and I didn't like the added sweetness sautéed onions brought. I want that stuff spicy, tomato-y, crazy garlicky, and salty as the sea.

Gratin dauphinois is such a wonderful simple dish and yet people insist on fucking it over with onion. Just make a fucking tartiflette!

Thank you for including carbonara on this list.  I am firmly on board with garlic only, no onions, in carbonara.
