Add garlic, thyme, and sage to pot. Salt and pepper to taste. Stir frequently, on low.
Step 3
Once onions have a little color, add white wine. Reduce heat to low... stirring frequently until wine has reduced and onions have caramelized. (about 10 minutes) Remove from pot and set aside.
Step 4
In that same pot, melt 4tbs butter. Add gluten free flour and whisk constantly to combine.
Step 5

Step 6
Turn off the heat, and add cheeses into pot stirring to melt and combine.
Step 7
Fold in cooked noodles, (my favorite gluten free noodles are "Tinkyada" brown rice fusili.) and half of the onion mixture .
Step 8
Butter 4 ramekins (or one baking dish) add macaroni into each dish.
Step 9
