Caramelized Shallot Pasta with Gruyere
The slight sweetness from the caramelized onions and the creaminess from the gruyere cheese take this simple pasta recipe to the next level.
Ingredients
- 8 ounces penne pasta
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 8 shallots, thinly sliced
- 5 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more for salting water
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 3/4 cup grated gruyere cheese
- pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the pasta and cook according to package instructions, about 10 minutes. Drain, reserving 1/2 cup pasta water, and set aside.
- Meanwhile, in a large saute pan, add the olive oil and shallots. Saute on low for 15 mins, adding salt about 5 minutes in. Saute until shallots become soft and caramelized.
- Add garlic and saute for another 2 minutes. Then add balsamic vinegar and saute for 30 seconds, until fragrant.
- To the pan of shallots, add the cooked pasta and gruyere and stir. If needed, slowly add pasta water until desired consistency is reached. Add salt and pepper, to taste.
- Serve.
