Ingredients

1 package (16 ounces) penne pasta

1 cup thinly sliced onions

2 tablespoons butter

2 tablespoons minced fresh thyme or 2 teaspoons dried thyme

2 tablespoons minced fresh basil or 2 teaspoons dried basil

1 teaspoon salt

1-1/2 cups half-and-half cream, divided

1/2 cup white wine or reduced-sodium chicken broth

1 tablespoon tomato paste

2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

1/2 cup shredded Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, divided

Directions

Cook penne according to package directions. Meanwhile, in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat, cook onions in butter for 8-10 minutes or until lightly browned. Add the thyme, basil and salt; cook 1 minute longer. Add 1 cup cream, wine or broth and tomato paste; cook and stir until blended.

Combine flour and remaining cream until smooth; gradually stir into onion mixture. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Stir in 1/4 cup cheese. Drain penne; toss with sauce. Sprinkle with remaining cheese.
