Balsamic Pasta Primavera image

I made this up, inspired by a recipe from Food and Wine. While this looks like a lot of vinegar, don't worry! By boiling it, the acidity goes away and a thick, semi-sweet/savory syrup is left.

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 lb penne pasta
1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
1 cup broccoli, heads chopped
1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
4 ounces cremini mushrooms, sliced
1 cup spinach, chopped
4 tablespoons butter
1/3 cup parmesan cheese, plus extra for garnish

Steps:
