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

  • Heat oil over a large skillet over medium heat. When shimmering, add the onions and a generous pinch of salt. Cook, stirring frequently until deeply caramelized. About 25-30 minutes. 
  • Add the garlic, mushrooms and thyme. Sauté for 3-4 minutes or until the mushrooms begin to soften. Add the wine to deglaze the pan and add the flour. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, until thickened.
  • Pour in the beef stock (or vegetable stock) and water. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Bring to a boil then add the pasta and cook for 8-10 minutes or until al dente. (Keep in mind that other pasta shapes will have different cook times).
  • Turn off the heat and stir in the sherry vinegar. Serve warm.
