Farfalle Pasta with Spinach, Mushrooms, and Caramelized Onions

Ingredients Caramelized onions 1 tablespoon olive oil 3 yellow onions , large, sliced 1/4 teaspoon salt 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar Creamy pasta sauce 1 tablespoon olive oil 10 oz mushrooms , sliced (I used button mushrooms) 6 oz spinach 1 cup half-and-half 1 cup Parmesan cheese , shredded 1/4 teaspoon salt Pasta 8 oz farfalle pasta Instructions How to caramelize onions: Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil on medium-high heat in a large skillet. Add sliced onions and cook on high heat for about 10 minutes, constantly stirring with the spatula. The onions should start to brown, but without burning. Reduce heat to medium and continue cooking onions for 10 more minutes, continuing to stir, as onions brown even more without burning. At this point add a pinch of salt over onions. Continue cooking for 10 more minutes on medium or low heat, stirring occasionally to make sure onions don’t stick to the bottom of the pan or burn. In total, you should have cooked onions for 30 minutes. Remove the skill

QUINOA CHOCOLATE BROWNIE

INGREDIENTS 3/4 cup / 160g Quinoa 1 2/3 cups / 250g Raisins 3 tbsp Cocoa 3/4 cup / 115g Hazelnuts 1 1/4 cups / 300 ml water + water for soaking INSTRUCTIONS Soak the quinoa for half an hour. Drain the quinoa and preheat oven to 190C / 375F. Add the cocoa, fresh water, and 1 cup of the raisins (remaining raisins are for the frosting) to your blender and blend for 3 minutes until the quinoa is all broken. Pour the quinoa brownie batter into a lined pan that’s about 30 by 22 cm. Bake for 50 minutes then take brownies out of the oven and leave for 10 mins to firm up. Blend together the hazelnuts and the remaining raisins until they stick together into a ball. Stop blending if the motor is struggling – this frosting isn’t supposed to be smooth. Remove the quinoa brownie base from the pan and dollop on the hazelnut mixture. The hazelnut mixture is firm so you will need to use a knife or your fingers to spread a layer on top. Garnish this gluten free brownie with fruit if you like and it will
