Add beef broth and thyme, bringing to a gentle simmer for 10 minutes.
In a separate pot, cook pappardelle noodles in salted boiling water according to package instructions until al dente, reserving a cup of pasta water before draining.
Combine the pasta with the onion-broth mixture, tossing gently and adding reserved pasta water as needed for consistency.
Transfer the mixture to an oven-safe dish, top with Gruyère cheese, and broil for 3-5 minutes until cheese is bubbly and golden.
