How to Make French Onion Pasta

Rub the garlic with salt and olive oil, then wrap in foil.
Roast in a preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until garlic is soft.
Make the Creamy French Onion Sauce
Melt butter in a Dutch oven over medium heat. Meanwhile, in a separate frying pan, sauté sliced mushrooms for 15 minutes.
Add sliced onions to the Dutch oven with the melted butter. Caramelize the onions, stirring often, for about 20 minutes.
Cook the pasta to al dente, following the instructions on the back of the box. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water.
Squeeze the roasted garlic out of the bulb and add it along with the sautéed mushrooms to the Dutch oven. Cook for 10 minutes.
Deglaze the pan with white wine. Sprinkle flour over the mixture and stir for 2 minutes.
Pour in reserved pasta water, thyme, salt, pepper, Worcestershire, and cream.
Stir until well combined and cook for 5 minutes to thicken.
Add cooked pasta to the Dutch oven and stir until well-mixed. Lower the heat to a simmer, cover, and cook for an additional 5 minutes.
Grate cheese over the pasta and garnish with fresh thyme. Serve and enjoy!
