Description
A comforting and rich pasta dish inspired by classic French onion soup, featuring golden caramelized onions, savory cheese, and creamy goodness.
Ingredients
Scale
- 12 oz pasta (fettuccine or linguine)
- 3 large yellow onions, thinly sliced
- 3 tbsp butter
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 cups beef broth
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 cup shredded Gruyère cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Caramelize the Onions: Melt the butter with olive oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add the sliced onions and cook slowly for about 30–40 minutes, stirring occasionally. The onions should become deeply golden, soft, and sweet.
- Add Garlic and Seasoning: Once the onions are beautifully caramelized, stir in the minced garlic, thyme, salt, and black pepper. Cook for another minute until fragrant.
- Pour in the Broth: Add the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce. Let the mixture simmer for about 10 minutes so the flavors can deepen and blend together.
- Cook the Pasta: While the sauce simmers, cook the pasta according to package directions until al dente. Reserve about 1/2 cup of pasta water before draining.
- Make It Creamy: Reduce the heat and stir the heavy cream into the onion mixture. Add the Gruyère, mozzarella, and Parmesan cheese gradually, stirring until melted and smooth.
- Combine Everything: Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and toss until fully coated. If needed, add a splash of reserved pasta water to loosen the sauce.
- Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle fresh parsley over the top and serve immediately while hot and cheesy.
Notes
- Pair with crusty bread or a crisp green salad for the ultimate comforting dinner.
