Inspired by the deeply savory flavors of French onion soup, this single-pan pasta is a surefire crowd please—and better still, it couldn’t be easier to make. You start by caramelizing your onions to create a deeply flavorful base, then simply add your cooking liquid, aromatic flavorings, and dried pasta to the pan—bring everything to a boil and cook until your pasta is tender and the liquid is largely absorbed. This French Onion Pasta is here to prove that all you need for an incredible meal is one pan and a plan.

Step 2
Stir in garlic, salt, and pepper; cook an additional 5 minutes or until onions have browned and are jam-like in texture. Stir in sherry and scrape the bottom of the skillet to remove any brown bits on the bottom.
Step 3
Stir in water, beef broth, thyme leaves, parsley, and Worcestershire sauce. Add broken linguine and stir to incorporate pasta into the liquid. Bring to a boil and boil for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until pasta is cooked and most of the liquid is absorbed. Remove from heat and cover for 3 minutes.
Step 4
Toss in grated Parmesan, Gruyere, and garnish with thyme sprigs and chopped parsley, if desired.

I haven't made this yet. I don't know how to caramelise onions and I can't get sweet ones where I live. Can somebody help me please.

This sounds delicious but two members of my family are on pre-summer diets. How can I get the nutritional values for this recipe? Don't see it published.

I think this is an excellent recipe, and easy weeknight meal. The flavors are spot on for French Onion Soup, although I also added some sauteed sliced mushrooms. I agree with the other reviewer that the pasta needs more cooking time, and it definitely takes a little longer to get the onions to that sweet, mellow caramelized state.

I actually really liked this and I was a bit skeptical. My husband loved it. I caramelized the onions for more like 45 minutes and I used vegetable broth to make it vegetarian. It also took the pasta longer to cook than the recipe suggested and I added more water to finish it off al dente. The cheese really made it and next time I might splurge and get the really good gruyere for it. I will make this again.
