FARFALLE PASTA WITH SPINACH, MUSHROOMS, AND CARAMELIZED ONIONS

Steps:

• Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil on medium-high heat in a large skillet. Add sliced onions and cook on high heat for about 10 minutes, constantly stirring with the spatula.
• The onions should start to brown, but without burning.
• Reduce heat to medium and continue cooking onions for 10 more minutes, continuing to stir, as onions brown even more without burning. At this point add a pinch of salt over onions.
• Continue cooking for 10 more minutes on medium or low heat, stirring occasionally to make sure onions don't stick to the bottom of the pan or burn.
• In total, you should have cooked onions for 30 minutes.
• Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle the onions with a small amount of balsamic vinegar to deglaze the pan.
• Using a spatula, stir the onions, scraping the bottom of the pan and coating onions with a pinch of balsamic vinegar you just added. Remove caramelized onions to a plate.

• Add half-and-half to the mushroom and spinach mixture and bring to a quick boil. Immediately reduce to simmer.
• Add 2/3 cup of shredded Parmesan cheese and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Keep stirring while the sauce simmers until the cheese melts.
• Add caramelized onions back to the skillet with the pasta sauce.
• Cook pasta according to package instructions. Drain.
• Add cooked and drained farfalle pasta to the creamy sauce. Stir on low heat for a couple of minutes to reheat.
