Instructions

1. Prepare Ingredients

   Thinly slice the onions, mince the garlic, and measure out all spices, broth, wine, cream, and cheeses.

   Time: PT10M

2. Caramelize Onions

   Heat the butter and olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the sliced onions, season with a pinch of salt, and cook, stirring occasionally, until deep golden brown and sweet, about 15 minutes.

   Time: PT15M

   Temperature: Medium heat

3. Add Garlic and Herbs

   Stir in the minced garlic, dried thyme, dried oregano, and black pepper. Cook for 2 minutes until fragrant.

   Time: PT2M

   Temperature: Medium heat

4. Deglaze with Wine

   Pour in the white wine (or extra broth) to deglaze the pot, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. Simmer for 2 minutes to reduce slightly.

   Time: PT2M

   Temperature: Medium heat

5. Cook Pasta in Broth

   Add the vegetable broth and bring to a boil. Stir in the pasta, reduce to a gentle boil, and cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is al dente and most of the liquid is absorbed, about 15 minutes.

   Time: PT15M

   Temperature: High heat to boil, then medium‑low

6. Finish with Cream and Cheese

   Reduce heat to low. Stir in the heavy cream, shredded Gruyère, and grated Parmesan. Cook for 3–5 minutes, stirring constantly, until the sauce is thick, glossy, and the cheese is fully melted.

   Time: PT5M

   Temperature: Low heat

7. Plate and Garnish

   Spoon the pasta into bowls, sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley, and serve immediately.
