Ingredients
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 3 yellow onions, thinly sliced
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 8 oz cremini mushrooms, sliced
- 1 tbsp fresh thyme
- 1/2 cup dry white wine
- 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 2 cups beef broth (or vegetable broth)
- 2 cups water
- 12 oz dried orecchiette or other short-cut pasta
- 1 tbsp sherry vinegar
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- Fresh herbs and toasted breadcrumbs for serving (optional)
Instructions
Caramelize the Onions:
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Once shimmering, add the onions and a generous pinch of salt. Cook, stirring frequently, until the onions are deeply caramelized, about 25-30 minutes.
Add Garlic, Mushrooms, and Thyme:
- Add the minced garlic, sliced mushrooms, and fresh thyme to the skillet.
- Sauté for 3-4 minutes, or until the mushrooms begin to soften.
Deglaze and Thicken:
- Pour in the white wine to deglaze the pan, scraping up any browned bits.
- Add the flour and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, until the mixture thickens.
Simmer the Pasta:
- Pour in the beef broth (or vegetable broth) and water. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
- Bring to a boil, then add the pasta. Cook for 8-10 minutes, or until the pasta is al dente (note that cooking times may vary with different pasta shapes).
Finish and Serve:
- Turn off the heat and stir in the sherry vinegar.
- Serve warm, garnished with fresh herbs and toasted breadcrumbs if desired.
Enjoy your rich and flavorful pasta dish!
