Instructions
Instructions
Heat the butter and olive oil in your large pot over medium heat until melted and shimmering.
Add the sliced onions and take your time stirring every few minutes. You want those babies soft and caramelized, about 20-25 minutes.
Once onions got that rich golden brown, toss in minced garlic and chopped thyme. Cook about 1 minute.
Pour in the dry white wine, scraping the pot bottom to lift up any browned bits.
Stir in Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper.
Add your uncooked pasta and pour in enough water to just cover the pasta, about 4 cups total liquid.
Seal your cooker and bring it up to pressure. Cook for 5 minutes. Use quick release when time's up.
After opening lid, stir in heavy cream and Gruyere cheese. Let it melt into a creamy sauce.
Notes
Refrigerate leftovers in airtight containers for 3-4 days, or freeze for up to a month.
