Ingredients
- 2 yellow onion
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 2 garlic cloves
- 1/4 cup dry white wine
- 2 cup vegetable broth
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 7 1/10 oz dry pasta (such as penne or fusilli)
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves
- salt, to taste
- black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- 1Heat the butter and olive oil together in a large, deep skillet or pot over medium heat.
- 2Add the sliced onions and a pinch of salt, cooking, stirring occasionally, until they turn deep golden brown and caramelize, about 12–15 minutes.
- 3Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
- 4Deglaze the pot with the white wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom; let it reduce for 2–3 minutes.
- 5Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
- 6Add the dry pasta, reduce the heat to a simmer, and cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is al dente and most of the liquid is absorbed, about 8–10 minutes.
- 7Stir in the heavy cream, fresh thyme, and grated Parmesan cheese; continue cooking for 2 minutes until the sauce thickens and becomes glossy.
- 8Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
- 9Remove from heat, let the pasta rest in the pot for 2 minutes to allow the flavors to meld, then serve hot, optionally garnished with extra Parmesan or a sprinkle of thyme.
