Stuffed Onions with Chianti Sauce

Ingredients
6 (8 oz) yellow onions
2 C. Chianti, divided
1/2 C. dry breadcrumbs
1/3 C. finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
1/4 C. grated fresh Pecorino Romano cheese
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 t. freshly ground black pepper
3/4 t. salt, divided
1 T. sugar
1 t. finely chopped fresh rosemary
Directions
Preheat oven to 400 F.

Peel onions.  Cut 1/2 inch off top of onions; discard tops.  Place onions, cut side down, in an 11x7-in dish coated with cooking spray.  Pour 1/2 C. wine over onions.  Cover and bake at 400 F for 30 minutes.  Uncover; turn onions, and bake 20 minutes.  Turn the onions again, and bake an additional 30 minutes or until tender.  Cool onions slightly.  Carefully remove pulp from onions, leaving a 1/2-in thick shell.  Chop pulp to measure 3/4 C.  Combine pulp, breadcrumbs and next 4 ingredients (through pepper) in a medium bowl.  Add 1/2 t. salt, tossing to combine.  Sprinkle 1/8 t, salt over onions shells; stuff shells with breadcrumb mixture.  Bake at 400 F for 15 minutes or until tops are golden.  

Combine remaining 1-1/2 C. wine, 1/8 t. salt, sugar and rosemary in a small saucepan; bring to a boil.  Cook 15 minutes or until reduced to 1/2 C.   Serve sauce over onions.
