Ingredients
Scale
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 3 large yellow onions, sliced
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 10 oz sliced mushrooms
- 6 oz fresh spinach
- 1 cup plant-based cream (or dairy half-and-half if preferred)
- 1 cup shredded hard, plant-based cheese (or Parmesan if dairy is fine)
- ¼ teaspoon salt

Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add sliced onions and cook for about 10 minutes, stirring constantly.
- Reduce heat to medium and cook for 10 more minutes, stirring occasionally. Sprinkle with salt.
- Continue cooking on medium/low heat for 10 more minutes, stirring occasionally until onions are deep golden brown.

- Add sliced mushrooms and a pinch of salt. Cook about 5 minutes until soft.
- Add spinach and stir just until wilted.
- Add plant-based cream (or half-and-half) to the mushroom and spinach mixture and bring to a quick boil, then reduce to a simmer.
- Stir in shredded plant-based cheese (or Parmesan) and salt until cheese melts.
- Add caramelized onions back into the sauce.
- Cook farfalle pasta according to package instructions. Drain.
- Add pasta to the creamy sauce and stir on low heat for a couple of minutes to reheat and coat evenly.
- Adjust consistency: add a little more cream if too thick or a bit more shredded cheese if too thin.
- Serve warm, with extra shredded cheese on top if desired.
