Ingredients
  

  • 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)

Method
 

  1. Cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  2. 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.
  3. Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  4. 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.
  5. Stir in the cooked pasta, mixing well to combine.
  6. Preheat your oven broiler. Transfer the pasta mixture to an oven-safe dish. Top with the shredded Gruyère and grated Parmesan cheese.
  7. Broil in the oven for 3-5 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
  8. Remove from the oven and let it cool for a couple of minutes. Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
