One more note! Better than Bouillon isn’t certified gluten-free. There are some GF alternative stock concentrates on the market like Herb-Ox, or use a GF stock instead!

Made it with shellbow pasta tonight and it turned out great! Didn’t need to add more water or change anything else.

Making this asap! I think it’s so fun that you shared your inspo for the recipe creation, we’re all learning from each other🥰

This was so good! How did this turn into such magic? Made the gluten-free option (cooked pasta on the side), used miso/soy sauce sub for the anchovies, used white onion, used regular chicken Better than Bouillon, omitted Italian seasoning since I was out, and put in some frozen discs of tomato paste I had in the freezer. Definitely making this again!

love hearing how you made it your own (but followed the liquid / cooking pasta on side for GF!!! GOOD JOB!)

this is FANTASTIC

basically a pantry pull and so hands off. made this after we got home from a funeral and we all needed some comfort. this will be a staple in our house for sure. thanks caro 🫶

also wanted to say i used some subs - chicken btb (reduced salt per note) and miso for anchovy, and it was great 😊

What would you estimate is the weight for the parm? We always use a microplane so the volume measurements are tricky

Making this right now with penne! Will report back 🫡 update: penne works great! I did 4.5 cups hot water instead of 4.25 and it was just right. I had an extra half of a Boursin so threw that in too and was amazing!

This combines all my favorite things (caramelized onions, cheese, one pot meals). Yum. Could you add some green like spinach?

Molly from What To Cook's avatar

Oooh yes definitely! Shredded or chopped, stir it in along with the Parm and vinegar!

i made a chaos version of this where i only had about 2/3 of the required ingredients and got very creative with my subs but it turned out SO GOOD.

Really want to try this with a shorter pasta

We bet it’ll work! Just keep baking it with a little more water if needed until all the noodles are cooked. Just haven’t tested them to give specific directions!!

My Italian husband won't touch a pasta shaped liked string (???) so I made this with Rao's Farfalle (bow ties) and didn't change a thing. I've used that noodle in plenty of Boursin baked pasta situations and it's always a fine sub!

Caroline Chambers's avatar

Shaped like string hahaha

Made this tonight! Perfect snow day meal!! Didn’t have anchovy paste or the white miso suggested in subs so went with some Worcestershire. Will definitely make this one again, easy and a big hit

This was really delicious! Made as written, but topped the final product with some toasted breadcrumbs. Great!

Made this tonight with a mixture of shallots and sweet onions to get to a pound. It was delicious. And my 6 year old, who consistently wants plain noodles, ate THREE SERVINGS. We will definitely make this again. So easy, and very few dishes!

My kids (6 and 11) who “hate” onions and would have likely passed out if I told them about the anchovy paste absolutely devoured this. Thank you!

Dare I say I loved this more the next day?? Ate for lunch and dinner with leftover protein from doubling the meat from dilly lamb (BIG TIME FAV)
