French Onion Pasta
It’s the first chilly days of fall. You make a medieval sized vat of soup and it’s delicious. By day 3, you crave novelty and click the Uber eats app.Seriously, just add some pasta. It immediately changes the texture and flavor. It will stop you from feeling sick of the soup and get you excited to make it all over again. It will make you thaw out that random soup from a few months ago and use up that random can in your pantry. And anything that is delicious and also helps you clean house is honestly the closest thing I can afford to a care team at the moment, so…dig in!
French Onion Pasta
Ingredients
- 4 cups French onion soup
- 8 oz pasta shape of your choice
- 1 sprig of thyme
- 3 oz Gruyère or Swiss cheese
- 4 tbsp parmesan
- Salt pepper, and parsley to taste
Instructions
- In a saucepan, add ¾ of your soup and bring to a boil. Meanwhile, chop your thyme.
- Once the soup is boiled, add your pasta and stir, so the pasta doesn’t stick to each other as it initially softens up. Keep a close eye that the pasta does not stick to the bottom as you cook to package instructions. Add in your thyme.
- As the liquid begins to evaporate, add in your remaining soup in ¼ cup quantities. You’re essentially treating it like a risotto. Once your soup is al dente, plate it and top with gruyere, parmesan and parsley. If you’re feeling fancy, you can turn your oven onto broil and pop your pasta in the oven so the cheese gets all browned. Or you can get your blowtorch out…That’s it. That’s the whole recipe. Done in 15 minutes.
