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 😊
5 Preheat your oven to 400℉.
0 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.
1 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.
2 In a smaller pan, heat up some olive oil and toast the bread crumbs adding a bit of salt and thyme.
3 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.
4 Serve with the breadcrumbs, more thyme and parmigiano.
