法式洋蔥湯是眾所愛戴的鹹味前菜之一,靠著相對簡單的材料組合就能達到出色的風味高度。這道法式洋蔥填塞貝殼麵的做法更進一步,將湯汁感的焦糖洋蔥與細緻的貝殼麵相結合,並以多種奶酪作點綴,成為一款以經典開胃湯為靈感的主菜。每一顆貝殼麵裡都包覆著卡瑞塔里克(ricotta)、格魯耶爾奶酪(Gruyère)與帕瑪森奶酪的濃郁奶香,於焦糖洋蔥底蘊的醬汁中小火燉煮,然後再進烤箱完成。簡單的麵包屑覆蓋層提供了些許口感對比,讓人聯想到餐廳裡以麵包作頂的湯碗風味。
為了讓這道菜在忙碌的平日也更易操作,我常在週末提前準備洋蔥以提早上手。填塞貝殼麵比一般義大利麵料理略顯費工,但當你想要更精緻或特別的時候,這份用心絕對值得。

French Onion Stuffed Shells Recipe
Inspired by classic French onion soup, this stuffed shells recipe features caramelized onions, a savory, brothy sauce, and lots of creamy, melty cheese.
Total time: 1 hour, 35 minutes
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 sweet onions, thinly sliced
- 1 ½ teaspoons salt, divided
- ¾ teaspoon black pepper, divided
- ¾ teaspoon dried thyme, divided
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 8 ounces jumbo pasta shells (about 24 shells)
- 2 cups ricotta cheese
- 1 egg
- 2 cups grated Gruyère cheese, divided
- ⅓ cup grated parmesan cheese, divided
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ cups vegetable broth
- ⅓ cup heavy cream
- ¼ cup breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
- Melt the butter in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-low heat.
- Add the onions, 1 teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon pepper, and ½ teaspoon thyme. Cook for about 45 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent burning, until the onions are golden brown.
- When the onions are golden, stir in the garlic and cook for 2 minutes more. Then, turn off the heat and leave the onions in the pan.
- While the onions cook, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
- Cook the shells for 2 minutes less than the package instructions call for, until bendable but still firm in the center.
- Drain and spread the shells in a single layer on a baking sheet to cool.
- Preheat the oven to 400 F.
- Stir together the ricotta, egg, 1 cup Gruyère, half of the parmesan, and the remaining salt, pepper, and thyme in a large bowl.
- Stir ½ cup of the caramelized onions into the ricotta mixture.
- Fill each shell with the ricotta mixture, stuffing them full but not overflowing.
- Turn the heat to medium-low under the remaining onions in the pan and sprinkle in the flour. Cook, stirring frequently, for 1 to 2 minutes.
- Add the broth and cook for 5 to 6 minutes, stirring frequently, until the sauce thickens.
- Stir in the cream, then turn off the heat.
- Nestle the shells open side up in the sauce.
- Top the shells with the breadcrumbs, remaining Gruyère, and remaining parmesan.
- Bake until the cheese is browned and the sauce bubbles around the edges, 20 to 25 minutes.
- Sprinkle the shells with parsley before serving.
Are there any shortcuts I can take when making these stuffed shells?
如果你想縮短這道菜的製作時間,這裡有幾個建議。用手切洋蔥可能需要不少時間,但若你有 mandoline(萬能薄切器),可以快速且均勻地切片洋蔥。先把洋蔥去皮、縱向切成兩半,再在 mandoline 上以 1/8 英寸的厚度切片,並可戴上防切手套或護手裝以避免受傷。或者,使用裝切片刀片的食品處理機以達到超級快速的選項。如果你有時間在前一晚就預先準備,也可以事先把洋蔥切好,讓其冷卻後冷藏最多兩天。等你要使用時再取出即可——因為這些洋蔥在烤箱中也會與其他材料一起煮熟,事先加熱並非必需。
另一個捷徑是使用預先磨碎的奶酪,免去自行磨碎的步驟。如果你找不到已磨好的格魯耶爾奶酪,可以改用莫扎里拉奶酪或瑞士奶酪達到相近效果。若填塞貝殼麵過於繁瑣,可以改用你喜歡的任何類型的麵體,與里科塔混合餡料。然後,把麵體放入煎鍋中,上面覆以焦糖洋蔥與奶酪,烤至略為更易完成的版本。
Can I make these stuffed shells in a glass baking dish instead of a skillet?
如果你的煎鍋尺寸不夠大,或是沒有適合放進烤箱的煎鍋,可以改用玻璃烤盤來烤貝殼麵。焦糖化洋蔥的步驟可以在煎鍋或平底鍋完成,或你也可以在烤箱中完成。要這麼做,將洋蔥與融化的奶油和一小撮鹽拌勻,放入玻璃烤盤中。你需要在 400°F 大約一小時的時間內烤洋蔥,每 15 分鐘攪拌一次。如若烤盤表面太乾,可以加一點水或高湯。用烤箱烤制的洋蔥會較少黏稠,帶有烤制的香氣,但整體風味仍然相同。然後
無論你選擇哪種方式焦糖化洋蔥,填塞貝殼麵仍然可以在玻璃烤盤中烤。溫度與烹調時間將保持不變。請注意,在玻璃烤盤中,貝殼麵的表層奶酪可能較快熟成,因此要經常檢查,避免烤焦。也可以在烤制接近尾聲時用鋁箔遮蓋烤盤,以防上層過度變色。
