So this is on the verge of a little to 'pre-packaged' for me, but I gave it a try and I have to say I was rather pleasantly surprised. If you're willing to eat dip made with Lipton's french onion soup mix, you should try this.
Ingredients:
2 cups of uncooked penne pasta (I snuck in whole wheat pasta)
1 cup of chicken stock
1 packet of Lipton's Onion Soup mix
1 shallot, finely diced
2 cloves of garlic, smashed
1/2 cup of marsala wine
4 tablespoons of light cream
1 tablespoon of flour
1/4 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese
1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil
In a large oven safe saucepan, heat the oil. Add the scallions and garlic, stir continually until soft and fragrant. Add in the flour and cook for a couple of minutes. A light brown fond will form on the bottom of the pan, so long as it doesn't blacken, don't worry. A nice dark brown is ok.
Add the marsala wine, scraping the bottom of the pan to remove any stuck on business.
Add the stock and soup mix packet, allow to simmer for about 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, cook your pasta al dente.
Reduce heat and add the light cream, mix well.
Add the cooked pasta to the sauce, stir well. Arrange evenly in saucepan and top with the mozzarella cheese. Set it under the broiler until the cheese gets a little crispy.
