Ingredients:
- 1 pound pasta (such as penne or rigatoni)
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 large yellow onions, sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup shredded Gruyere cheese
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Chopped fresh parsley, for garnish
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 375°F

- Sprinkle the flour over the onions and garlic and stir to combine. Cook for 1-2 minutes, until the flour is lightly browned.

- Add the heavy cream, Gruyere cheese, and Parmesan cheese to the skillet, stirring until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth.
- Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and stir until well coated with the sauce.
- Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 10-15 minutes, until the top is golden brown and the sauce is bubbly.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped parsley, if desired.
