Ingredients
Scale

- 1 cup shredded Gruyère cheese
- 1 tsp fresh thyme (or less if using dried)
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Freshly cracked black pepper, to taste

Instructions
- In a large pot over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter. Add sliced onions and sauté for 15-20 minutes until golden brown and aromatic.
- Stir in minced garlic and thyme for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Pour in the beef broth and bring it to a gentle boil. Add uncooked pasta, stirring well to prevent sticking.
