Description
A hearty and comforting dish that combines the rich flavors of French onion soup with pasta for a delicious one-pot meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 large yellow onions, thinly sliced
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
- 1/4 cup White Grape Juice (optional)
- 5 cups low-sodium beef broth
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 12 ounces uncooked rigatoni or other short pasta
- 1 cup shredded Gruyère cheese
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish
Instructions
- In a large pot, melt butter over medium heat. Add sliced onions and cook, stirring frequently, until deeply caramelized (about 20–25 minutes).
- Pour in a splash of broth to deglaze the pot, scraping up any browned bits stuck to the bottom.
- Stir in the remaining broth and bring to a boil. Add pasta, reduce heat to a simmer, and cook until the pasta is tender and most of the liquid has been absorbed (about 10–12 minutes).
- Stir in shredded Gruyère until melted and creamy. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
- Serve hot, topped with fresh parsley or thyme for a burst of color and freshness.
Notes
- For a vegetarian option, use vegetable broth instead of beef broth.
- Feel free to substitute the Gruyère cheese with another cheese of your choice.
