Step 1

Soften Onions: Add the onions, avocado oil, ¾ teaspoon kosher salt, and 1 cup water to a large Dutch oven. Bring to a boil over high heat. Cover, reduce heat to medium, and cook for 10 minutes until the onions have softened.

Step 2

Caramelize: Uncover and continue cooking over medium heat, stirring and scraping the bottom of the pot every 5-10 minutes. Once most of the liquid has evaporated, reduce the heat to medium-low and continue cooking until the onions are deeply browned and jammy, about 60-75 minutes total.

Step 3

Deglaze: Add the sherry and white wine. Scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot and cook for 2-3 minutes until most of the liquid has absorbed.

Step 4

Add Pasta: To the same pot, stir in the thyme and season with black pepper. Add the mezzi rigatoni, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and 1 cup water.

Step 5

Cook Pasta: Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-high and cook, stirring often, until the pasta is al dente and most of the liquid has been absorbed, about 18-22 minutes. Add additional water as needed if the pasta becomes too dry before fully cooking.

Step 6

Finish Sauce: Reduce heat to low. Stir in the Gruyère until melted. Stir in the half-and-half until creamy and combined.

Step 7

Serve: Divide among bowls and top with Parmesan cheese and parsley, if desired.
