French Onion Pasta

This tasty recipe came from Stephanie Cooks. We tried it tonight and loved it. I've made a few modifications to fit normal pantry supplies. It really does taste like French Onion Soup!

-------------------------------------
2 cups of uncooked penne pasta
1 1/2 to 2 cups of chicken broth
1 packet of Lipton's Onion Soup mix
1/2 onion, finely diced
3 cloves of garlic, minced
1/3 cup cream
1 tablespoon of flour
1/4 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese
1 tablespoon of Olive Oil
-------------------------------------

1- Cook pasta according to directions, set aside and keep warm.

In a saucepan, heat the oil and add the diced onions and garlic.

Saute till onions start to soften

Add the broth and soup mix packets. Bring to a boil then reduce heat to low and simmer, uncovered, for about 20 minutes

Combine cream and flour, then add to sauce mixture.

Add the pasta to the sauce, stir well. Sprinkle mozzarella over the top. (If you prefer, you can put it in an oven safe dish and put it under the broiler till the cheese starts to crisp)
