French Onion Pasta melds the sumptuous, caramelized essence of classic French onion soup with pasta, resulting in a delectable fusion dish. Sweet caramelized onions, savory beef broth, and melted cheese envelop al dente pasta, crafting a hearty and gratifying dinner option.

## Ingredients (serves 6)

- 1 lb ground beef
- salt and pepper (to taste)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 large onions (cut in half then thinly sliced)
- 3 cloves garlic (minced )
- 1 cup sliced mushrooms
- 2 tablespoons worcestershire divided (divided)
- 2 tablespoons all purpose flour
- ½ cup white wine
- 1 lb rotini
- 3 cups beef broth
- 1 cup water
- 2 teaspoons dried thyme
- ½ cup Parmesan cheese
- Parsley

## Steps

1. Cut onions in half then thinly slice, and mince the garlic
2. Add ground beef to a large pot or dutch oven over medium-high heat and season with salt and black pepper
3. Cook, stirring and separating with a spatula frequently, until completely browned and broken up
4. Drain the browned beef and set aside
5. To the same pot, add the olive oil, sliced onions, and garlic
6. Cook stirring occasionally over medium heat until the onion is browned and caramelized, stirring in 1 tablespoon of water if needed to prevent burning
7. Add mushrooms and cook for a few more minutes until softened
8. Add 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce to deglaze the pan and stir until most of the liquid has been absorbed
9. Add the ground beef back to the pot and stir in flour until it evenly coats everything in the pot
10. Deglaze the pan with white wine, stirring to make sure there are no lumps
11. Add rotini, beef broth, water, and thyme, pressing the pasta under the liquid as best you can
12. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer
13. Cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, until rotini is al dente
14. Remove from heat and stir in 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce and parmesan cheese
15. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately

## Good to know

### Swaps

- No white wine? Use an extra 1/2 cup beef broth with a splash of vinegar instead.
- Ground beef can be swapped for ground turkey or chicken in the same amount.
- No rotini? Any short pasta shape like penne or fusilli works in the same amount.

### Storing it

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days. Reheat on the stove or in the microwave with a splash of broth until steaming hot.

### Making it ahead

The onions can be caramelized up to 2 days ahead and kept covered in the fridge until ready to use.
