This One Pot French Onion Pasta combines rich caramelized onions, earthy cremini mushrooms, and orecchiette in a creamy, flavorful sauce. A cozy, restaurant-quality dish that’s perfect for an easy dinner!

Ingredients

Scale

  1. ¼ cup olive oil

  2. 3 yellow onions, thinly sliced

  3. 4 garlic cloves, minced

  4. 8 oz cremini mushrooms, sliced

  5. 1 tbsp fresh thyme

  6. ½ cup dry white wine

  7. 2 tbsp all-purpose flour

  8. 2 cups beef broth (or vegetable broth)

  9. 2 cups water

  10. 12 oz dried orecchiette (or other short pasta)

  11. 1 tbsp sherry vinegar

  12. Salt & freshly ground black pepper, to taste

  13. Fresh herbs & toasted breadcrumbs, for serving (optional)

Instructions

  • Caramelize the Onions:
    Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onions with a generous pinch of salt. Cook, stirring often, until deeply caramelized (25-30 minutes).

  • Sauté the Mushrooms & Aromatics:
    Add garlic, mushrooms, and thyme. Cook for 3-4 minutes, until mushrooms begin to soften.

  • Deglaze & Thicken:
    Pour in white wine to deglaze, then stir in flour. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, until thickened.

  • Simmer & Cook the Pasta:
    Pour in broth and water. Season with salt and black pepper. Bring to a boil, then add pasta and cook 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally. (Adjust cook time based on pasta shape.)

 

  • Finish & Serve:
    Turn off the heat and stir in sherry vinegar. Serve warm, garnished with fresh herbs and toasted breadcrumbs, if desired.

Notes

  • For a vegetarian version, use vegetable broth.

  • If you prefer a creamier texture, you can add a splash of cream or milk at the end.

 

  • Garnishing with toasted breadcrumbs adds a nice crunch and extra flavor.
