French Onion Orecchiette is the most decadent and delicious pasta dish I’ve had a long time!The secret here is the stock, I made my own but you can easily doctor up a store bought one 😊
Preheat your oven to 400℉.
Add onions to the pan on medium heat for 5 minutes. Lower heat to medium low and cook, stirring often for 15 minutes. Deglaze with ¼ cup of water, stir until fully absorbed. Add 1 tbsp butter, 1 sprig of thyme and a bit of salt. Then, continue cooking until fully browned, should be another 10 minutes or so. Turn heat off and add tamari.
Add the orecchiette to the onions along with the wine and hot stock. Bring to a boil and simmer until orecchiette is a little under al dente. Add more stock if needed. Add salt and pepper to taste.
In a smaller pan, heat up some olive oil and toast the bread crumbs adding a bit of salt and thyme.
Add the remaining 2 tbsp of butter to the pasta and stir, add some of the gruyere and mix until well incorporated. Top with remaining gruyere and bake at 400°F for 5-7 minutes.
Serve with the breadcrumbs, more thyme and parmigiano.
