Method
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the thinly sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are deeply caramelized and golden brown, about 15 minutes.
Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: The onions are deeply caramelized and golden before the garlic goes in.
Add the minced garlic and sauté for another minute until fragrant, being careful not to let it burn.
Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: The garlic smells fragrant without browning.
Pour in the vegetable broth, increase the heat to bring it to a gentle simmer.
Add the pasta, stir to combine, then cover the skillet and cook for 10–12 minutes, or until the pasta is al dente and most of the liquid has been absorbed.
Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: The pasta is al dente and most of the broth has absorbed.
Remove the lid, lower the heat, and stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until it melts into a creamy sauce that coats the pasta.
Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: Parmesan melts into a creamy coating on the pasta.
Season the dish with salt, black pepper, and the fresh thyme sprig, adjusting the seasoning to taste.
Serve the pasta hot, optionally garnished with extra grated Parmesan and a fresh thyme leaf.
