👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. Cook the Onions Low and Slow: This process cannot be rushed! Make sure to take your time caramelizing the onions for the best flavour. This will take 20-30 minutes.
2. Stir the Onions Regularly: It’s best to stir the onions every 5 minutes or so to prevent any onions from burning and so they cook evenly.
3. Quality Ingredients: For the best results, use good quality cheese and fresh thyme. You can find Smoked Gruyere cheese at most specialty cheese stores and fresh thyme at your local grocery store.
4. Adjust Liquids: Depending on the type of pasta you use, you may need to add slightly more liquid. If you find the pasta feels too firm once it’s absorbed all the liquid, add a bit more broth and continue to cook.
5. Taste and Adjust:Depending on the brand of broth you use, you may find the pasta needs some extra seasoning. If this is the case add salt and pepper to taste or try adding some more cheese for extra flavour.
6. Serve Immediately: This dish is best enjoyed right away.
