French Onion Pasta

By @carolebeecooks

Ingredients:

  1. 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  2. 2 medium yellow onions (450g), thinly sliced
  3. ½ tsp fine salt, plus more to taste
  4. 60ml tawny port (may substitute madeira, sherry, dry vermouth, red wine, or additional stock or broth)
  5. 700ml chicken or vegetable stock or broth, preferably unsalted or reduced-sodium, if shop-bought
  6. 225g short dry pasta, such as rigatoni, fusilli or orecchiette
  7. 5 sprigs fresh thyme, tied together with twine, plus more for serving
  8. ¼ tsp freshly ground black pepper, plus more to taste
  9. 56g finely shredded Gruyère cheese, plus more for serving

Method:

  1. In a large pot or casserole dish over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the onions and salt, stir, cover and cook for 5 minutes. Uncover and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are nicely browned in spots and the bottom of the pot is covered with stuck-on bits, 20 to 25 minutes.
  2. Add the port to deglaze by scraping up any browned bits stuck to the bottom of the pot.
  3. Add the stock or broth, pasta, thyme, and pepper, cover partially and increase the heat to bring to a boil. Cook, stirring occasionally and adjusting the heat as needed to keep the mixture at a gentle, not rolling, boil, until the pasta is al dente and the liquid has reduced to coat the pasta, 15 to 20 minutes (see note). Remove from the heat, discard the thyme, and stir in the cheese until melted. Taste, and season with more salt and/or pepper, if needed.
  4. Divide among bowls, sprinkle with more cheese and fresh thyme leaves, if desired, and serve.
