Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large oven-safe skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil and 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter over medium heat. Allow the mixture to melt and create a shimmering effect.
  2. Add 2 large sliced yellow onions to the skillet, stirring well to coat them in the oily mixture. Sauté for 15-20 minutes, until the onions turn deeply caramelized and golden brown.
  3. Pour in ¼ cup of red wine and increase the heat slightly. Let it simmer, scraping the bottom of the skillet to release any caramelized bits, for about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Sprinkle in ½ teaspoon of kosher salt, ¼ teaspoon of black pepper, and ¼ teaspoon of garlic powder, stirring to combine evenly.
  5. Pour in 1½ cups of beef broth along with 1 tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce, stirring to combine. Bring to a gentle simmer for about 5 minutes.
  6. Add the 16-ounce package of potato gnocchi into the simmering broth, stirring gently to coat them in the sauce.
  7. Sprinkle 1½ cups of shredded Gruyère cheese evenly over the gnocchi. Transfer the skillet to the oven and broil on high for about 2-3 minutes.
  8. Remove from oven, let cool for a minute, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve warm.
