Description

A rich and comforting one pan pasta made with deeply caramelized onions, tender pasta, savory broth, creamy sauce, and melted gruyere cheese.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 ounces dry pasta such as fettuccine or linguine
  • 3 large yellow onions, thinly sliced
  • 3 cups beef broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup shredded gruyere cheese
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper


Instructions

  1. Place a large deep skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add butter and olive oil to the pan. Once melted, add the thinly sliced onions and cook for 20 to 25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until deeply golden and caramelized.
  3. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Pour in the beef broth and heavy cream, stirring to combine, and bring to a gentle simmer.
  5. Add the dry pasta directly into the pan, ensuring it is mostly submerged in the liquid. Stir in thyme, salt, and black pepper.
  6. Simmer uncovered for 12 to 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is tender and the sauce has thickened.
  7. Stir in the shredded gruyere cheese until melted and creamy.
  8. Serve warm straight from the pan.

Notes

  • Caramelize the onions slowly for the deepest flavor.
  • Stir the pasta occasionally to prevent sticking.
  • If the sauce becomes too thick, add a splash of broth or cream to loosen it.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
