I’m a huge fan of french onion soup and I’m a huge fan of pasta. I mean, I have a whole list of easy pasta recipes (that I make on the weekly!). Therefore, it only made sense to bring the two together and make one of the heartiest, most delicious pasta dishes! Now for the best part: You only need one pot and less than one hour to make!

Don’t get me wrong, I love light and fresh meals. However, sometimes you just want a cozy meal that feels like a warm hug. If that’s the mood you’re in, then this is the dish for you. French Onion Pasta is comfort food at its finest. This recipe, though simple, is packed with flavor. Take it up a notch my serving it alongside a big piece of crusty bread (;

And yes, caramelized onions are definitely a labor of love, but they are so very worth it. Especially in this dish!

Ingredients and Substitutions for One Pot French Onion Pasta

How to make gluten-free:

If you want to make this dish gluten-free, just make two easy swaps. First, use gluten-free flour. Some of my favorites are Bob’s Red Mill 1:1 Gluten-Free Baking Flour and King Arthur Measure For Measure. Second, you will need to swap the pasta for gluten-free pasta.

What pasta should I use?

Generally, I love using bean based pasta as they are gluten-free and include extra fiber and protein. If you are looking for a brand, then I recommend Banza and Barilla both of which make great chickpea pastas. In addition, I love Explore Cuisine’s Red Lentil Pasta. You could also use any of your favorite gluten-free (corn, brown rice, etc.) pastas. If you’re looking for a low-carb option, then I recommend Lupin bean pasta.

How to make dairy-free:

If you’re looking to make this recipe dairy-free, then you’ll need to swap out the cheese and heavy cream for your favorite dairy-free options. Some of my favorite dairy-free cheeses are VioLife and Miyokos Creamery. A good alternative for the heavy cream would be coconut cream or Silk heavy cream.
