Ingredients
- 1 pound pasta your choice (egg noodles, fusilli, penne, etc.)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 4 tablespoons butter unsalted
- 4-5 large yellow onions thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon thyme leaves fresh, chopped (or 2 teaspoon dried thyme)
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon brown sugar
- 1 cup dry white wine
- 2 cups beef broth
- 8 ounces cream cheese softened
- 1 cup Swiss cheese shredded, or Gruyere
Instructions
- Over medium heat, add olive oil and butter in a large pot or Dutch oven. Once hot, add the sliced onions. Stir occasionally, letting the onions caramelize slowly for about 35-40 minutes.
- Add minced garlic and thyme to caramelized onions, and cook for 1-2 minutes until garlic is aromatic. Sprinkle brown sugar over the onions, stir well, and cook for 2 minutes.
- Pour in dry the white wine to deglaze the skillet, scraping any brown bits. Add vegetable broth and simmer and let the sauce reduce for 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, cook the pasta in salted boiling water until al dente.
- Add the cream cheese to the sauce, stirring until the sauce is smooth. Then stir in the shredded Swiss cheese.
- Once the cheese has melted, add the drained pasta and toss to combine. If desired, season with salt and pepper.
