# Steps to Follow:

Add the garlic, cremini mushrooms, and thyme to the skillet. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until the mushrooms begin to soften.

Pour in the dry white wine to deglaze the skillet, scraping up any browned bits. Add the flour and cook for 2-3 minutes until thickened.
04 -
Mix in the beef broth (or vegetable broth) and water. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Bring to a boil, then add the pasta and cook for 8-10 minutes or until al dente.

Turn off the heat and stir in the sherry vinegar. Serve warm with optional garnishes such as fresh herbs and toasted breadcrumbs.
# Additional Notes:
01 -
For best results, cook the onions slowly to achieve deep caramelization.

Keep in mind that cooking times for different pasta shapes may vary.
