Savory Onion Pasta (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
01 -
6 tablespoons of salted butter.
02 -
Thinly slice 3-4 medium yellow onions.
03 -
1 1/4 cups of dry white wine (try Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio).
04 -
Chop up 3 garlic cloves.
05 -
Slice 2 cups of cremini or wild mushrooms.
06 -
2 tablespoons of fresh sage, finely chopped.
07 -
Pick 2 tablespoons of thyme leaves.
08 -
3 cups of low-sodium vegetable or chicken broth.
09 -
1 teaspoon of Worcestershire sauce.
10 -
Get 1 pound of short pasta.
11 -
Add Kosher salt and black pepper, as you like.
12 -
Tear 3 ounces of prosciutto into pieces.
13 -
Use 1/2 cup heavy cream or milk.
14 -
Grate 1 cup of Gruyere cheese.
15 -
4 ounces of burrata cheese, set at room temperature.
# Instructions:
01 -
Heat your oven to 350°F. Lay out the prosciutto flat on a baking sheet lined with parchment. Let it bake for around 10-15 minutes until the edges turn crispy.
02 -
In the meantime, put a large Dutch oven on medium-high heat. Toss in the butter and let it melt before adding the onions. Stir them now and then until they soften, about 10 minutes. Gradually pour in a little wine (about 1/4 cup at a time). Let it soak up and repeat until you've used 3/4 cup. Let the onions cook for 10-15 more minutes until caramelized to a rich brown color.
03 -
Drop in the mushrooms, garlic, thyme, and sage. Season with salt and pepper and stir for another 3-4 minutes.
04 -
Dump in the remaining wine (1/2 cup), broth, Worcestershire, and a sprinkle more of salt and pepper. Crank the heat to high and let it bubble. Add the pasta and stir regularly. It'll cook to al dente while drinking up most of the liquid in 8-10 minutes.
05 -
Once the pasta is cooked, pour in the heavy cream and follow it with the Gruyere. Mix until it's creamy and smooth. Move the pot off the heat.
06 -
Tear the burrata and spread it on top. Lightly fold it into the pasta, then scatter the crispy prosciutto bits over everything. Time to dig in!
