1 pound short cut pasta, uncooked (like orecchiette)
5 oz. freshly shredded Gruyere cheese
1/4 cup freshly shredded Parmesan cheese
fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
Heat olive oil and butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add sliced onions, salt, and pepper; stir occasionally until caramelized (about 20-25 minutes).
Add minced garlic and red pepper flakes for one minute until fragrant.
Stir in Worcestershire sauce and reduced sodium soy sauce. Pour in water or broth, then add evaporated milk mixed with cornstarch and beef bouillon if using. Bring to a gentle boil.
Add uncooked pasta; reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until pasta is tender (10-12 minutes), stirring occasionally.
Remove from heat; mix in Gruyere cheese and Parmesan until melted and creamy. Finish with fresh parsley and thyme before serving.
