Ingredients

Scale
  • 300 g cavatappi macaroni
  • 5 onions (thinly sliced)
  • 1/2 cup beef broth
  • 3 cups heavy cream
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 baguette
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp pepper
  • 2 tsp oregano
  • 1 tbsp garlic powder
  • 1 tbsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp nutmeg
  • 1 tbsp flour + 3 tbsp water (for béchamel)
  • 1 tsp sugar

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add thinly sliced onions and sauté for 30–40 minutes until caramelized. If they stick to the pan, add beef broth and simmer for an additional 10 minutes.
  2. In the same skillet, create a béchamel sauce by whisking flour into melted butter over low heat. Gradually add heavy cream while whisking until thickened.
  3. Stir two-thirds of the caramelized onions into the béchamel sauce along with salt, pepper, parsley, and Parmesan cheese.
  4. Cook cavatappi macaroni in salted boiling water until just shy of al dente.
  5. Combine cooked pasta with the béchamel mixture in a baking dish. Top with remaining caramelized onions and breadcrumbs.
  6. Bake uncovered at 350°F (175°C) for 10–15 minutes until golden brown.
