This is the viral TikTok sensation that you need to try! It’s a mashup of two comfort food faves—pasta and French onion soup—all in one pot. Epicure’s here to make sure you’re getting that caramelized onion flavour without chopping a thing—goodbye, onion tears! Pro tip: choose beef broth for that extra authentic oomph.
Ingredients
- 1⁄2 lb (225 g) uncooked rigatoni, about 3 cups
- 3 cups low-sodium broth, your choice
- 2 tbsp French Onion Dp Mix or Toasted Onion
- 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
- 1⁄4 cup half and half cream (10%)
- 1⁄4 cup grated Gruyère cheese
Preparation
- In Sauté Pan over medium-high heat, add rigatoni, broth, dip mix, and vinegar.
- Cover; cook 14–16 min, stirring occasionally, or until pasta is al dente. Reduce heat to medium if liquid is bubbling too vigorously.
- If pasta is not cooked within 16 min, add a bit more broth, cover, and cook an additional 1–2 min. If there is too much water left over when the pasta is done, uncover and cook a few more minutes to let excess liquid evaporate.
- Remove from heat, stir in cream and cheese until cheese is melted.
