One Pot French Onion Pasta is a dish that perfectly combines the rich flavor of French onion soup with pasta. By cooking everything in one pot, it simplifies the cooking process while retaining the original taste of the ingredients, making the dish both delicious and convenient.

👉🏻Ingredients list⚠️

  • Pasta: 1 serving

  • Onions: 2 medium-sized, sliced thinly

  • Olive oil: 3 tablespoons

  • Beef or vegetable broth: 2 cups

  • Red wine (optional): 1/2 cup

  • French mustard: 1 tablespoon

  • Salt and pepper: to taste

  • Thyme: 1 teaspoon (dried)

  • Parmesan cheese: as needed (grated, for topping)

  • Garlic: 2 cloves (sliced, optional)

👉🏻✨DIRECTIONS:

  1. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.

  2. Add sliced onions and garlic slices (if using), and sauté until the onions are soft and golden brown.

  3. Pour in red wine (if using), and cook until the alcohol evaporates.

  4. Add beef or vegetable broth, French mustard, and thyme. Bring to a boil.

  5. Add pasta to the pot, ensuring the broth covers most of the pasta. Cover the pot and cook over medium heat for 10-12 minutes, or adjust according to the cooking time suggested on the pasta package.

  6. Cook until the pasta is tender and the broth is slightly thickened. Season with salt and pepper.

  7. Before serving, sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and stir well.

👉🏻✨TIPS

  • Sautéing the onions until they are golden brown is key to achieving a rich and sweet broth.

  • If red wine is not available, it can be omitted or replaced with beef broth.

  • Stir occasionally while cooking the pasta to prevent sticking.

👉🏻✨BENEFITS

  • This dish is suitable for family dinners and also as a main course for gatherings with friends. Its rich French onion flavor and easy-to-make cooking method make it a highlight on the dining table.
