Creating One Pot French Onion Pasta is simple when you follow these clear steps:

1. Sauté Onions: In a large pot, heat the butter and olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onions, sugar, and a pinch of salt. Cook for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions are caramelized and golden brown.
2. Add Garlic and Thyme: Stir in the minced garlic and thyme. Cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
3. Pour in Broth: Add the beef or vegetable broth to the pot and bring to a boil.
4. Add Pasta: Once boiling, add the pasta to the pot. Stir well to combine.
5. Simmer: Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let the pasta simmer for about 10-12 minutes, or until cooked al dente. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
6. Add Cheese: Once the pasta is cooked, remove the pot from the heat. Stir in the shredded Gruyère cheese until it’s melted and creamy.
7. Season: Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
8. Garnish: Serve immediately, garnished with fresh chopped parsley.
