     Title: French Onion Pasta
Categories: Vegetables, Herbs, Pasta, Dairy, Cheese
     Yield: 8 servings

     3 tb Olive oil
     2 tb Butter
     4 md Onion; thin sliced
 1 1/2 ts Salt; divided
     3 cl Garlic; minced
     1 tb Minced fresh thyme; more for
          - garnish
   3/4 c  Dry white wine
     2 ts Worcestershire sauce
   1/2 ts Pepper
    16 oz Uncooked orecchiette pasta
     4 c  Beef stock
     1 tb Sherry vinegar
   1/4 c  Half & Half cream; warmed
     6 oz Gruyere cheese; grated

 In a large Dutch oven or stock pot, heat olive oil and
 butter over medium heat. When butter is melted, add
 onions and ½ teaspoon salt. Reduce heat to medium-low;
 cook, stirring often, until onions are a deep caramel
 brown, about 25-30 minutes.

 Stir in garlic and thyme; cook another 1-2 minutes. Add
 white wine; simmer another 1-2 minutes, scraping the
 browned bits from the bottom of the pan.

 Add remaining 1 teaspoon salt, Worcestershire sauce and
 pepper to the pan; stir in orecchiette. Pour in just
 enough beef stock to cover the pasta; set aside the
 remaining beef stock. Increase the heat to medium.
 Simmer, stirring often to keep the pasta from sticking
 to the bottom. Once the liquid is fully absorbed, stir
 in additional beef stock; continue to simmer and add
 more beef stock as needed until the orecchiette is
 cooked to al dente, about 10-13 minutes.

 Stir in sherry vinegar. Place warmed half-and-half in a
 liquid measuring cup; add a scoop of the pasta liquid to
 the half-and-half; stir to temper it. Stir mixture back
 into the pasta. Simmer another 30 seconds; remove pan
 from the heat when pasta is saucy but not liquidy.

 Stir in shredded Gruyere cheese until melted. Spoon
 pasta into shallow serving bowls. Garnish with
 additional thyme and pepper. Serve while hot.
