One-Pot French Onion Pasta
We’re big fans of one-pot pastas and French onion soup-flavored everything, so it was just a matter of time until we combined those two awesome things in one dish. Meet this one-pot French onion soup pasta, which is destined to become one of your favorite weeknight dinners.
Ingredients
- 3 tbsp. unsalted butter
- 3 large yellow onions (about 2 lb. total), halved lengthwise, thinly sliced
- 4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
- 2 tsp. fresh thyme leaves, plus more for serving
- 1/2 c. dry white wine, such as Sauvignon Blanc
- 12 oz. dried cavatappi
- 1 (32-oz.) box low-sodium beef broth
- 1 c. water
- Kosher salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 c. finely grated Gruyère cheese (about 3 oz.), plus more for serving
Directions
- Step 1In a large pot over medium heat, melt butter. Add onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until deeply golden brown and caramelized, about 20 minutes. (If onions are browning too quickly, stir in a few tablespoons of water, scraping up brown bits on bottom of pot.)
- Step 2Add garlic and thyme and cook, stirring, until garlic is fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add wine and cook, stirring, until almost completely evaporated, about 1 minute. Add pasta, broth, water, 3/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium and simmer, uncovered and stirring occasionally, until pasta is al dente, 14 to 16 minutes.
- Step 3Stir cheese into pasta until melted and combined. Top with more cheese and thyme before serving.
