Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Prep Onions: Slice 3 lb white or yellow onions thinly into strips. Melt 4 Tbsp unsalted butter over medium heat in a large pan or pot. Add the onions and ½ tsp each salt and pepper.
  2. Caramelize Onions: Cook, uncovered, over medium heat for 45 to 60 minutes. You can stir less in the beginning, but will need to stir often towards the end. If onions begin to brown too quickly and become crispy, reduce heat. Patience is key!
  3. Flavor It: Add ½ cup dry white wine to the pan and stir to deglaze (scraping all the flavor bits off the bottom of the pan to reincorporate them into the sauce). Add 4 cloves garlic (minced), ½ tsp dried thyme, and a pinch nutmeg (optional). Cook for another minute.
  4. Add Pasta: Stir in 4 cups vegan beef broth2 cups water, and 1 tsp vegan Worcestershire sauce. Bring to a simmer, then add 1 lb pasta, pressing the pasta down into the broth to fully submerge it. Cover and cook until pasta is al dente, about 10 minutes (this depends on the shape; check your box for exact times).
  5. Serve: Remove from heat. Stir in 1 cup grated gruyere cheese, ½ cup grated parmesan cheese, and ½ cup heavy cream. Serve warm!

Notes

  • Storage: This pasta is best enjoyed right away, but leftovers will keep in the fridge for up to 5 days in an airtight container. When you reheat it, add a splash of broth to rehydrate it. You can do this on the stovetop or in the microwave.
