Description
A simple pasta dish inspired by the flavors of classic French onion soup.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound pasta (such as penne or rotini)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 large yellow onions, thinly sliced
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup dry white wine
- 4 cups beef broth
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup shredded Gruyère cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Cook pasta according to package directions. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water before draining.
- While pasta cooks, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onions and cook slowly, stirring occasionally, for 20 to 25 minutes until deeply caramelized and soft.
- Add garlic to the skillet and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
- Pour in white wine and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Let the wine reduce by half, about 3 minutes.
- Add beef broth, thyme, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes, allowing the sauce to reduce slightly.
- Add the drained pasta to the skillet with the sauce. Toss to coat. If the sauce seems too thick, add reserved pasta water, a little at a time, until desired consistency is reached.
- Remove the skillet from the heat. Stir in Gruyère cheese until melted and creamy.
- Serve immediately, topped with Parmesan cheese.
Notes
- For deeper onion flavor, caramelize the onions slowly over low heat.
- You can substitute vegetable broth for beef broth if preferred.
