Viral One Pot French Onion Pasta
This comforting pasta dish is loaded with rich beef broth and caramelized onion sauce, topped with Gruyère cheese.
Ingredients
- 2 Tbsp Salted Butter
- 2 Large Onion thinly sliced
- 1 Tbsp Olive Oil
- 4 Cloves Garlic minced
- 1/2 tsp Dried Thyme
- 1 Tbsp Balsamic Vinegar
- 1/4 Cup Dry White Wine
- 1/2 LB Rigatoni UNCOOKED
- 1 Tbsp Worcestershire Sauce
- 32 Oz Beef Broth or about 4 cups
- 5.3 Oz Le Gruyère AOP shredded
- 1/4 Cup Heavy Cream
Instructions
- Add butter to a heavy bottomed skillet over medium heat. Once melted, add onions, olive oil, and a hefty pinch of salt. Cook for 20 minutes, stirring often until soft and starting to brown.
- Add garlic and thyme and cook for 3 more minutes or until the garlic is tender and fragrant.
- Add balsamic vinegar and white wine to deglaze the pan - scraping up all the little bits on the bottom of the pan.
- Add rigatoni, Worcestershire sauce, and beef broth and stir everything together. Carefully submerge the noodles and cook over a medium simmer for 20 minutes with the lid on, occasionally removing it and stirring so the noodles don’t stick to the pot.
- Once al dente, add the Gruyère and heavy cream and gently stir until creamy. Taste and season with flaky salt and pepper.
Notes
My version of the Viral One-Pot French Onion Pasta that’s loaded with rich beef broth and caramelized onion sauce, and REAL Gruyère made in the Swiss region of Gruyère using the same recipe for the last 900 years.
