 French spaghetti riccota

This is a Thomas Keller recipe i decided to make one day, pretty simple, pretty tasty.
2 Heads of shallots, one cut in rings and battered, one minced
Deep fry shallot rings in hot canola oil, or olive oil
With the other shallot head, mince, throw in good olive oil, carmelize 3-5 minutes
Add 8 table spoons of butter, 1 teaspoon of white wine vinegar (key), and 1 cup of water. Let it reduce down to a 1/3, takes usually about 10 minutes on low heat.
Boil 1/2 pound spaghetti, once it's done cooking, throw in and blanch a small handfull of chopped parsley.
Drain, add to a skillet with oil, combine the shallot-butter reduction with the pasta, toss together.
In goes the 2/3 cup of riccota cheese, salt, pepper, and a drizzle of dark olive oil
Top with the crispey shallots for a nice texture contrast.
Tastes pretty mellow, flavorfull, the hint of vinegar is nice, cuts through the cheese and carbs.
Basically a simple comfort dish.

yeah, the recipe can definitely use some protein and fresh herbs
i'd recomend against the garlic though, just because it overpowers all the suttelties of the shallot reduction. Kinda ruins the point of carmelizing and reducing the shallots.

that looks really delicious., might I suggest doing this though next time, take the shallots, roughly chop them, reduce them in a white wine, whole peppercorn & bay leaf reduction, till the liquid turns a light pink, then add about a half quart cream, reduce that till it turns an off white color, then take off the heat, add in about half pound of butter, that is roughly chopped into tablespoons', adding it slowly, and whisking constantly, making sure its off the heat too emulsify. Once that is done and the sauce & begins to thicken, strain, and add some lemon zest or your cheese, you can even experiment with flavors to finish the sauce with, anything from fresh thyme, to fried cappers. Basic béchamel, enjoy.

seriously I like the fried shallot idea, adds a certain luxury to the dish.

i agree with the intentions of your suggestions,
the purpose of the shallot reduction is still sort of, confusing to me.
As i said earlier, this is my first time attempting a Thomas Keller recipe, so in this extent, i really tried hard to replicate the dish and recipe spot on.
Sure beats ordering the dish and burning your wallet at the French Laundry.

Gots to be a nit-pickin' stickler for a moment, 'cause that's not deep frying! 
This is deep frying!
