I was needing something just a little different and I found
all these wonderful ingredients just waiting in the fridge--
This turned out absolutely delicious and will definitely
become a part of our dinner rotation!
Lisa's Fettuccine with Mushrooms,
Spinach and Caramelized Onions
Ingredients
3 onions
3 TBSP olive oil
salt
1 TBSP balsamic vinegar
1 TBSP olive oil
8 oz baby bella mushrooms
3 garlic cloves, minced
3 cups fresh baby spinach
2/3 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup milk
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Step 1: Caramelized Onions
1 TBSP olive oil
3 onions sliced thin and then in half
pinch of salt
1 TBSP balsamic vinegar
Heat
1 tablespoon olive oil on high heat in a large skillet.
Add the sliced onions and cook on high heat
for about 10 minutes,
constantly stirring with spatula.
The onions should start to brown, but
without burning.
Reduce
heat to medium and continue cooking onions
for 10 more minutes, stirring, as they brown even more.
At this
point add just a pinch of salt over onions.
Continue
cooking for 10 more minutes
on low heat, stirring
occasionally.
Make sure onions don’t stick to the bottom of the pan or
burn.
You should have cooked onions for a total of 30 minutes.
Remove
from heat and sprinkle onions with
a small amount of balsamic vinegar
to deglaze the pan.
Stir until the onions are coated.
Step 2: Mushrooms & Spinach
2 TBSP olive oil
8 oz baby bella mushrooms
3 garlic cloves, minced
3 cups fresh baby spinach
After
you have started cooking onions, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in another
pan, and add sliced mushrooms and minced garlic.
Add a pinch
of salt.
Reduce heat to medium-low and cook mushrooms and garlic
for about 20 minutes, occasionally stirring.
Add
cooked mushrooms to the pan with caramelized onions,
add 3 cups of
spinach and stir on low heat just until spinach wilts.
Step 3: 8oz Fettuccine--prepare and set aside
Step 4: Cream Sauce
2/3 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup milk
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Add
heavy cream, milk, Parmesan cheese
and stir over low heat until smooth and creamy.
Add in the prepared Fettuccine and gently stir until coated.
Step 5: To Serve:
Place the Fettuccine on your serving plate.
Top with the spinach, mushroom and onions.
Enjoy with garlic bread.
