Description

A creamy and flavor-packed pasta dish featuring caramelized onions and melted cheese, all cooked in one pot for minimal cleanup.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz pasta (fettuccine or linguine)
  • 2 large onions, thinly sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups vegetable broth (or beef broth)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 teaspoon thyme
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup grated Gruyere cheese (or Swiss cheese)
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. In a large pot, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and cook until they are caramelized, about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  2. Add the garlic and thyme, and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  3. Pour in the vegetable broth and bring to a simmer.
  4. Add the pasta to the pot and cook according to package instructions, stirring occasionally.
  5. Once the pasta is cooked and most of the liquid is absorbed, remove from heat.
  6. Stir in the grated cheese until melted and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  7. Serve hot, garnished with chopped parsley.

Notes

Stir the pasta occasionally while it cooks to prevent sticking. For a richer flavor, let the onions caramelize until they are deeply golden.
