Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 6 tablespoons salted butter
  • 3-4 medium yellow onions, thinly sliced
  • 1 1/4 cups dry white wine, such as Pinot Grigio or Sauvignon Blanc
  • 3 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 2 cups cremini or wild mushrooms, sliced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh sage
  • 3 cups low sodium chicken or vegetable broth
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 pound short cut pasta
  • kosher salt and black pepper
  • 3 ounces prosciutto, torn
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream or milk
  • 1 cup shredded gruyere cheese
  • 4 ounces burrata cheese, at room temperature

Method
 

  1. 1. Preheat the oven to 350° F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Arrange the prosciutto in a single layer. Bake for 10-15 minutes or until the prosciutto is crisp. 2. Meanwhile, melt together the butter and onions in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring occasionally until softened, about 10 minutes. At this point, you'll want to slowly add 3/4 cup of the wine, 1/4 cup at a time, until the wine cooks into the onions. Continue to cook another 10-15 minutes until you've used the 3/4 cup of wine and the onions are deeply caramelized.3. Add the garlic, mushrooms, thyme, and sage. Season with salt and pepper, cook another 3-4 minutes. Add the remaining 1/2 cup wine, the broth, Worcestershire sauce, and a pinch each of salt and pepper. Increase the heat to high and bring to a boil. 4. Add the pasta and stir frequently until the pasta is al dente and the broth has been absorbed, about 8-10 minutes. Stir in the cream and gruyere cheese. Remove from the heat.5. Break the burrata over the pasta and gently stir. Top with prosciutto. Eat and enjoy!

Notes

Basting the onions with dry white wine in successive 1/4-cup additions deglazes the pan gradually, lifting the flavorful browned fond from the bottom of the Dutch oven while infusing the onions with bright acidity before they can burn. Simmering the pasta directly in the seasoned broth and wine reduction traps the pasta's natural starches in the pot, forming a naturally emulsified, glossy sauce that clings effortlessly to the melted Gruyère and cream.
