Ingredients
Scale
- 8 oz fettuccine or penne pasta
- 2 large yellow onions, thinly sliced
- 4 cups low-sodium beef broth
- 1/2 cup dry white wine
- 1 cup grated Gruyère cheese (or mozzarella for added stretch)
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
Instructions
- Prepare your ingredients by slicing the onions and measuring out the other components.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, combine the olive oil and butter. Add the sliced onions and sauté until soft and golden brown (about 15-20 minutes), stirring occasionally.
- Pour in the white wine after the onions are caramelized; scrape any browned bits from the skillet's bottom. Cook until the wine reduces by half.
- Stir in the beef broth, balsamic vinegar, thyme, salt, and pepper. Let it simmer on low heat while cooking the pasta.
- In a separate pot, bring salted water to a boil and cook pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and reserve about 1 cup of pasta water.
- Combine the drained pasta into the skillet with the broth mixture. Gradually add reserved pasta water until desired consistency is achieved. Top generously with grated cheese before serving.
