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 orecchiette or any short-cut pasta
1 tbsp sherry vinegar
Salt & freshly ground black pepper
Fresh herbs & toasted breadcrumbs (optional for topping)
In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium. Add onions and cook slowly, stirring often, for about 25-30 minutes until caramelized.
Stir in garlic, mushrooms, and thyme. Cook for another 5 minutes.
Pour in white wine, scraping up bits from the bottom. Simmer until wine reduces slightly.
Sprinkle in flour and stir to coat. Cook for 1-2 minutes.
Add broth, water, and pasta. Stir well and bring to a boil.
Lower heat and simmer uncovered for about 10-12 minutes, stirring often, until pasta is tender and sauce is thickened.
Stir in sherry vinegar and season with salt and pepper.
Serve hot with herbs and toasted breadcrumbs on top if desired.
