One Pot French Onion Linguine
One Pot French Onion Linguine inspired by cozy comforting french onion soup flavors makes extremely delicious, easy and quick meal!!
French onion soup is loaded with deep savory flavors! The flavors mainly come from caramelized onions, Gruyere Cheese and fresh herbs!! It is usually made with beef broth and being vegetarian I don’t consume beef broth. So my options of eating french onion soup at restaurants are very minimal to none. And that is the reason I like to make it at home.
Now think about pasta coated with those amazing french onion flavors!! I mean carbs loaded with amazing flavors means complete comfort, isn’t it?!?! I love cooking linguine with this delicious flavors in just one pot! Cooking pasta in broth loaded with so much goodness takes your pasta game to next level!! And less dishes is like cherry on top!!
This dish is extremely easy to make. You caramelize onions, cook linguine al dente in the broth loaded with flavors, add Gruyere Cheese, Pecorino Romano and fresh herbs. And that is it!! Yes, it is that easy!! This would be perfect meal for your colder months, especially around Holiday season!!
I love serving it with side of light dressed salad and full bodies red wine, or your preferred beverage!! I urge you to try this outstanding flavored recipe and up your pasta game!! If you end up making it and liking it, tag me on Instagram @myvegetarianroots. I would love to see your recreation of this deliciousness!
Happy and Healthy Eating!!
One Pot French Onion Linguine
Ingredients
- ¼ cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 3 tbsp Salted Butter
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Sugar
- 1½ Extra Large Sliced Sweet Yellow Onions use 3 if onion size is medium
- 1 tbsp Minced Garlic
- 1 tsp Dry Thyme
- ½ tsp Red Chili Flakes
- 1 tbsp Dark Soy Sauce
- 32 oz Vegetable Broth can be sub with water
- ¾ lb Uncooked Linguine
- 1½ cup Shredded Gruyere Cheese
- ½ cup Shredded Pecorino Romano
- 2 tbsp Trader Joe's Onion Salt Seasoning can be sub with (2 tsp onion powder + 1 tsp garlic powder + 1 tsp salt + ½ tsp dry chives)
- 1½ tsp Freshly Cracked Black Pepper
- 2 cup Freshly Chopped Curly Parsley
- 2 tsp Fresh Thyme Leaves
- ½ cup Heavy Cream
Instructions
- Heat up Extra Virgin Olive Oil and butter in a heavy bottom deep pot. I like using coated cast iron pot.
- Once butter is melted, add sliced onions, salt and sugar. Keep sautéing until the onions are completely translucent. It should take about 10-12 minutes on medium heat.
- Once onions are completely translucent, add sliced garlic, dry thyme and red chili flakes. Mix well.
- Keep sautéing on medium heat to make the onions caramelized. Keep stirring every few minutes to make sure it does not stick to the bottom of the pot. It should take another 15 ish minutes for onions to get caramelized. They should taste sweet and deepen in color.
- Once onions are caramelized, add uncooked linguine (broken in half).
- Add vegetable broth and soy sauce. Mix well. The vegetable broth should cover the linguine completely. If it does not, add more vegetable broth or water to cover the linguine.
- Mix well and cover the pot. Keep cooking linguine in the broth until they are al dente and most of the broth is absorbed.
- Add chopped curly parsley and and fresh thyme. Mix well.
- Add Trader Joe's onion salt and freshly ground black pepper. Mix well.
- Cover the pot for 2-3 minutes.
- Add shredded cheese and mix well, making sure there are no cheese lumps and it is all melted well. Adding little at a time and keep mixing works lot better than adding all at once!
- Turn the heat off and add heavy cream. Mix well.
- Garnish with fresh thyme and parsley if preferred!! Serve it hot!!
