Meet French Onion Pasta, the TikTok Food Hybrid We Actually Want to Eat
Dipping into French Onion soup is a universal pleasure: the salty broth, sweet caramelized onions and crunchy bread that’s bathing in all that flavor. So it’s no surprise the Parisian staple has made the rounds on TikTok. But, like any good internet recipe, it’s undergone a clever rebrand, like our friends carrot bacon and ranch pickles. Users are whipping up French onion pasta, a dish that brings all the decadent flavors of the stew into a bowl of penne. The best part (for you and your dishwasher): It comes together in one big pot.
