While pasta is cooking, caramelize the onions in olive oil, breaking apart as they cook, about 25 minutes and remove from pan. Deglaze the pan with the wine and add the lemon juice and garlic. Season the cutlets and shrimp with salt and pepper and add to the pan, cooking on both sides for a few minutes. Remove and drain on a paper towel. Add vegetables; allow to cook for 5 minutes.

Cut the cutlets into thin strips and return the chicken and shrimp back into the pan with the sauce. Fold in the drained pasta and continue to cook for a few minutes, stirring often to combine flavors. It the sauce become to dry, add some pasta water if necessary. Serves 4
