Yield: 5
Prep time: PT10M
Cook time: PT70M
Total time: PT80M

Ingredients
- 2 cups small pasta (mini farfalle, pastina or orceccheiette)
- 4  large yellow onions (finely sliced)
- 3 cups beef broth
- 1/4 cup white wine
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup Parmigiano Reggiano (plus additional for garnish)
- 3 Tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3  garlic cloves (pressed)
- 2  sprigs fresh thyme (or substitute with 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme)

Instructions
1. To a large pan, drizzle olive oil and add butter. Add thinly sliced onions.
2. Cook on medium-low for 35-40 minutes until golden and caramelized, stirring frequently. Once caramelized, deglaze with a splash of white wine or beef broth. Add fresh thyme leaves and the stem, garlic. Cook for a few minutes until fragrant.
3. Add uncooked pasta and beef broth. Simmer on medium-high heat for 15-20 minutes or so until most of the liquid is absorbed. Stir frequently.
4. Remove the thyme stems. Add the heavy cream and Parmesan. Add back any leaves that didn’t fall off during cooking. Stir to combine and cook a few minutes just enough to melt the cheese and bring the sauce to a simmer.
5. Garnish with additional thyme and parmesan. You can easily make a protein on the side, like Italian sausage, salmon or chicken to turn this into a complete meal.
