The onions & mushrooms should start to brown, but without burning. Reduce heat to medium and continue cooking onions for 5 more minutes, continuing to stir, as onions brown even more without burning. At this point add a pinch of salt over onions & mushrooms place lid on. Add spinach and vinegar stir  to de-glazed the pan.
Add creamer to the mushroom and spinach mixture and bring to a quick saute. Immediately reduce to simmer. Add 2/3 cup of shredded Parmesan cheese and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Keep stirring while the sauce simmers until the cheese melts.

Add cooked and drained farfalle pasta to the creamy sauce. Stir on low heat for a couple of minutes to reheat. If the sauce is too thick, add a small amount of creamer to thin it out. If it is too thin, add a small amount of shredded Parmesan cheese, and stir it in, while the sauce simmers.
