Getting back to this wonderful french onion pasta! All you need is one pot to cook it all, how easy is that?! Traditionally, french onion soup/pasta uses swiss cheese, which I did use for mine. Or alternatively you can use a non-dairy cheese of choice if you would prefer a vegan pasta dish. Same goes with the coconut cream, you can also use regular thickened cream if you’re not concerned about the dairy.

Recipe type: Gluten Free, Vegetarian
Serves: Serves: 4-6
Ingredients
  • 4 Tbsp coconut oil
  • 3 large purple onions, peeled and roughly chopped
  • 2 Tbsp coconut sugar
  • 2 garlic cloves, peeled and minced
  • 3 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 cup water
  • 3 springs fresh thyme
  • 2 bay leafs
  • 1 Tbsp white wine vinegar
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 packet (340g) Barilla Gluten Free Penne Pasta
  • ⅓ cup coconut cream
  • 2 cups swiss cheese, grated
Method
  1. Heat oil in a large pot over high heat. Add onions and coconut sugar, cook in oil for 10-15 minutes or until slightly caramelised, whilst stirring.
  2. Stir through minced garlic, cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  3. Pour in broth and water, bring to a boil.
  4. Once boiling, stir through thyme, bay leafs, vinegar, salt and pepper, mix well to combine.
  5. Add in penne pasta and mix well to combine. Add more or less water/broth, you want it to just cover the pasta.
  6. Cook on medium heat until pasta absorbs most of the liquid, approx. 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  7. Once pasta is al dente, stir through coconut cream and 1 cup of the grated swiss cheese, cook for a further 1-2 minutes or until pasta is creamy.
  8. Serve pasta up in bowls. Optional: Top each pasta bowl with remaining 1 cup swiss cheese and melt under a pre-heated grill until cheese is completely melted.
  9. Enjoy!
Notes
Store leftovers in an airtight container, refrigerated, for 2-3 days.

If you’re not gluten free, you can use any regular penne pasta.
