Main ingredients

  • 12 oz mezze rigatoni or other short pasta
  • 2 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoon olive oil
  • 3 yellow onions large, sliced thin
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 teaspoon fresh thyme chopped

  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

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.
