Ingredients
Scale
8 ounces pasta (such as penne or fusilli)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 large onion, thinly sliced
2 cloves garlic, minced
4 cups beef broth
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
Salt and pepper to taste
1 cup shredded Gruyère cheese
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
Cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and cook, stirring frequently, until they are caramelized and golden brown, about 15-20 minutes.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Pour in the beef broth and add the dried thyme, balsamic vinegar, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook for about 5 minutes.
Stir in the cooked pasta, mixing well to combine.
Preheat your oven broiler. Transfer the pasta mixture to an oven-safe dish. Top with the shredded Gruyère and grated Parmesan cheese.
Broil in the oven for 3-5 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let it cool for a couple of minutes. Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
Notes
For a vegetarian version, substitute vegetable broth for beef broth.
