Description
A comforting and flavorful one pot pasta dish inspired by classic French onion soup, featuring caramelized onions, garlic, thyme, and a creamy sauce all cooked together with pasta for an easy and delicious meal.
Ingredients
4 medium yellow onions, thinly sliced
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon sugar
4 cups low sodium beef broth
1 cup whole milk
8 ounces dried fettuccine pasta
1/2 cup grated Gruyère cheese
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
Instructions
In a large deep skillet or pot, heat the butter and olive oil over medium heat until melted and shimmering.
Add the sliced onions, salt, pepper, and sugar. Cook, stirring frequently, until the onions are deeply caramelized and golden brown, about 20 minutes.
Add the minced garlic and fresh thyme leaves to the onions and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour in the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and whole milk. Stir to combine and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Add the dried fettuccine pasta to the pot, pressing it down gently so it is mostly submerged in the liquid.
Cover and cook over medium-low heat for 12 to 15 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking, until the pasta is tender and most of the liquid is absorbed.
Remove the pot from heat and stir in the grated Gruyère and Parmesan cheeses until melted and the sauce is creamy.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
Serve immediately, garnished with extra thyme or cheese if desired.
