Ingredients
- 8 oz pasta such as penne or rotini
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 large onions thinly sliced
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 4 cups beef broth or vegetable broth
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme or 1 tablespoon fresh thyme
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 1 cup shredded Gruyère cheese or Swiss cheese
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Fresh parsley chopped (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
- Sauté the Onions: In a large pot or skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and sauté for about 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are caramelized and golden brown.
- Add Garlic: Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- Combine Ingredients: Add the pasta to the pot, followed by the beef broth, balsamic vinegar, thyme, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.
- Cook the Pasta: Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer for about 10-12 minutes, or until the pasta is cooked al dente and the liquid has mostly absorbed.
- Add Cheese: Once the pasta is cooked, remove the pot from the heat. Stir in the shredded Gruyère and grated Parmesan cheese until melted and creamy.
- Serve: Garnish with fresh parsley if desired and serve warm.
