Ingredients
| 3 Tbsp | Extra-virgin olive oil |
| 16 oz | Sliced fresh mushrooms (2 8-oz containers) |
| 2 medium or 1 large | Onions, halved and thinly sliced |
| 1 tsp | Paprika |
| to taste | Salt |
| to taste | Freshly ground pepper |
| 12 oz | Whole-wheat spaghetti |
| ⅓ cup | Sour cream |
| 2 tsp | White wine vinegar |
| ½ cup | Fresh parsley, chopped |
| ½ cup | Fresh dill, chopped |
| ¼ cup | Chives, thinly sliced (about half of one bunch) |
Preparation
| 1. Heat 1 Tbsp olive oil (1 Tbsp from total 3 Tbsp) in a large dutch oven or wide pot over medium-high heat. |
| 2. Add the mushrooms (16 oz) and cook, undisturbed, until they are lightly browned and they start to soften. This should take about 5 minutes. |
| 3. Stir the mixture well, then add the onions (2 medium or 1 large, halved and thinly sliced), paprika (1 tsp), remaining 2 Tbsp olive oil, salt to taste, and a few grinds of pepper. |
| 4. Cook, stirring occasionally (more frequently toward the end). |
| 5. Continue until the onions are golden and very tender. This should take about 30 minutes. Note: reduce the heat to medium during the last 10 minutes so the onions don't burn. |
| 6. Meanwhile, bring a large pot of well-salted water to a boil. |
| 7. Add the pasta (12 oz whole-wheat spaghetti) and cook as the label directs for al dente. |
| 8. Reserve 1 1/2 cups of the cooking water, then drain. |
| 9. Add the pasta , half of the reserved cooking water, sour cream (⅓ cup), and vinegar (2 tsp) to the mushroom-onion mixture. |
| 10. Toss the mixture until the pasta is well coated and slightly saucy. Note: gradually add the remaining cooking water as needed for desired consistency. |
| 11. Add about half each of the parsley, dill, and chives to the pasta and toss. Season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste. |
| 12. Divide the mixture among bowls and top with the remaining parsley, dill, and chives. |
