Balsamic Onion & Goat’s Cheese Pasta Bake

There’s something about this pasta bake that wraps you in warmth—like a cozy Sunday afternoon at Grandma’s house. I remember the first time we made this with caramelized onions slow-cooked in balsamic, our kitchen smelled like comfort. The creamy goat’s cheese adds a velvety richness that keeps everyone coming back for seconds. Give it a try and turn an ordinary meal into a moment to remember.
