step 3

While waiting, cook the pasta according to the package instructions, then drain off all the excess water, and set it aside. Prepare the French onion sauce, place a cast-iron skillet pan on a stove over medium-high heat, then add the butter, and allow it to melt.

Step 4

Add the onions, then saute them until caramelized, and season them with all-purpose seasoning. Add the minced garlic, then give them a good stir, and cook until fragrant. Add the fresh thyme leaves, then give them a good toss, and pour in the broth.

Step 5

Stir everything to combine, then put in the cooked meatballs, and baste them with the sauce. Add the cheese, then cook it until melted, add more parsley, and then put the cooked pasta. Give them a good mix, then add more cheese and parsley, and turn off the heat. Serve and enjoy!
