TOTAL TIME
1
In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the sliced onions and cook for 10 minutes, stirring constantly.
2
Reduce the heat to medium and continue cooking the onions for another 10 minutes, stirring frequently.
3
Add a pinch of salt, reduce the heat to low, and cook for another 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. In total, you should cook the onions for 30 minutes.
4
Remove the skillet from the heat, sprinkle the onions with balsamic vinegar, and stir to deglaze the pan. Set the caramelized onions aside.
5
In the same skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and a pinch of salt, and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
6
Add the fresh spinach to the skillet and cook just until wilted.
7
Pour the half-and-half into the skillet with the mushrooms and spinach. Bring the mixture to a quick boil, then reduce to a simmer. Stir in 2/3 cup of shredded Parmesan cheese and 1/4 teaspoon of salt, and continue stirring until the cheese melts.
8
Add the caramelized onions to the skillet with the sauce and combine well.
9
Cook the farfalle pasta according to package instructions, and drain.
10
Add the cooked pasta to the creamy sauce, stirring on low heat for a couple of minutes to reheat.

Adjust the sauce consistency as needed; if too thick, add more half-and-half, and if too thin, add more shredded Parmesan cheese.
12
Serve with additional shredded Parmesan cheese sprinkled on top.
