Ingredients
CARAMELISED ONIONS:--
1 tbsp olive oil
3 yellow onions, large, sliced
½ tsp SIDS SALT & PEPPER to taste
1 tbsp SIDS LOW SUGAR RASPBERRY VINEGAR
CREAMY PASTA SAUCE:--
1 tbsp olive oil
280 g button mushrooms, sliced
170 g spinach
1 cup half-and-half
1 cup Parmesan cheese, shredded
¼ tsp SIDS SALT & PEPPER to taste
PASTA:--
225 g farfalle pasta
Directions
How to Caramelize Onions: Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil on medium-high heat in a large frypan. 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 SIDS SALT & PEPPER 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 pan from heat and sprinkle the onions with a small amount of SIDS LOW SUGAR RASPBERRY VINEGAR to deglaze the pan.
Using a spatula, stir the onions, scraping the bottom of the pan and coating onions with a pinch of SIDS LOW SUGAR RASPBERRY VINEGAR you just added. Remove caramelized onions to a plate.
How to Cook Mushrooms & Spinach: Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in the same pan on medium heat. Add sliced mushrooms. Sprinkle with a pinch of SIDS SALT & PEPPER.
Cook mushrooms for about 5 minutes, occasionally stirring, until they are soft.
Add fresh spinach to the pan and stir on low heat just until spinach starts to wilt.
How To Make Creamy Pasta Sauce: Add half-and-half to the mushroom and spinach mixture and bring to a quick boil. Immediately reduce to simmer.
Add ⅔ cup of shredded Parmesan cheese and ¼ teaspoon salt. Keep stirring while the sauce simmers until the cheese melts.
Add caramelized onions back to the pan with the pasta sauce.
Cook Pasta: Cook pasta to al denté 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.
If the sauce is too thick, add a small amount of half-and-half to thin it out. If it is too thin, add a small amount of shredded Parmesan cheese, and stir it in, while the sauce simmers.
Serve with more shredded parmesan cheese sprinkled on top.
