Time 1h50m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 large Spanish onions, thinly sliced
2 large shallots, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 pound rotini pasta
1 (3 pound) rotisserie chicken
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon dried thyme
3 cloves garlic, chopped
½ cup Marsala wine
1 ½ cups beef broth
4 tablespoons Greek yogurt
¾ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
salt and ground black pepper to taste
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme, or to taste

Steps:

  • Heat oil and butter in a large Dutch oven over medium heat. Add onions and shallots and cook and stir until onions begin to soften, about 5 minutes. Stir in brown sugar well. Continue to cook over medium heat until well caramelized, 45 to 60 minutes. Stir occasionally, being sure to scrape up the browned bits from the bottom of the pot.
  • While onions cook, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil; cook rotini at a boil until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Drain. Set aside and keep warm.
  • Bone chicken and cut meat into chunks.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Add flour, thyme, and garlic to the caramelized onions. Cook, stirring frequently, for 5 minutes. Add Marsala wine, scraping the bottom of the pan to deglaze. Add beef broth. Cook over medium-low heat, whisking continually until thickened, about 10 minutes. Add Greek yogurt and mix well.
  • Stir pasta, chicken, and mozzarella cheese into the sauce. Mix thoroughly. Season with salt and pepper. Pour into an oven-safe dish. Top with Parmesan cheese. Cover with foil.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Remove foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes. Garnish with fresh thyme for fancier presentation at serving.

The recipe was unclear about how long to cook the onions. I ended up cooking them for too long and they were a bit burnt.

This was a bit too rich for my taste. I think I would have liked it better with less cheese.

I'm not a huge fan of onions, but this dish was surprisingly good. The onions were caramelized and sweet, and they paired well with the pasta and cheese.

This recipe was easy to follow and the dish turned out great. I used a white onion instead of a yellow onion and it was still delicious.
