recipe ingredients
2 Tbsp. olive oil
2 large onions, chopped
1 cup pearl barley
8 oz sliced fresh mushrooms
1 can (16oz) vegetable broth
1 cup small bow-tie pasta

recipe directions
Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium high heat. Add onions, stir and cook until deep brown, about 15 minutes. Add barley and stir 30 seconds. Add mushrooms and continue to cook until barley browns and mushrooms begin to soften, about 5 minutes. Stir in broth and bring mixture to a boil. Cover and reduce heat to medium low. Simmer until barley is tender and broth is absorbed, about 25 minutes. Meanwhile, cook pasta according to package directions. Drain and set aside. When barley mixture is done, stir in pasta. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
