French Onion Pasta Dish (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Base

01 - 4 medium to large yellow onions
02 - 2 tablespoons of avocado oil
03 - 1/4 cup of sherry
04 - 1/2 cup of a dry white wine
05 - Kosher salt and ground black pepper as you like
06 - 3/4 teaspoon of dried thyme

→ Pasta & Liquids

07 - 4 cups of beef bone broth
08 - 1 pound uncooked mezze rigatoni
09 - 2 cups of water, add more if it gets too dry
10 - A teaspoon of Worcestershire sauce

→ Finishing

11 - 6 ounces of freshly grated gruyere cheese
12 - 1/4 cup of half-and-half
13 - Some Parmesan cheese to sprinkle on top
14 - A handful of fresh parsley for garnish

# Instructions:

01 - Sauté onion slices with oil, a bit of salt, and some water on medium with a lid for 10 minutes until they soften up.
02 - Take off the lid and cook while stirring every so often for at least an hour, until the onions are deeply golden brown.
03 - Pour in the sherry and wine, scrape up bits stuck to the bottom, and let it simmer for around 2 minutes.
04 - Stir in the pasta, broths, and seasonings. Bring it to a boil and then lower heat to simmer for about 20 minutes. Stir frequently so it doesn’t stick!
05 - Mix in the gruyere until it’s all melted. Add the half-and-half, and finish it up with Parmesan and parsley on top.

# Notes:

01 - If things dry out during cooking, feel free to add splashes of water.
02 - Swap the half-and-half for heavy cream if you want it extra rich.
