  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 oz (340 g) of your favorite pasta (tagliatelle, fettuccine, or pappardelle work well)
  • 1 cup of shredded Gruyere cheese
  • 3 large leeks, cleaned and sliced into thin rings
  • 8 oz (225 g) of fresh mushrooms (cremini, shiitake, or button), sliced
  • 3 tablespoons of olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup of dry white wine or vegetable broth
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Fresh thyme or parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced leeks and cook slowly for 15-20 minutes until golden and tender. Season with a pinch of salt.
  2. In a separate skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and sauté for 8-10 minutes until golden brown. Season with salt and pepper. Combine with caramelized leeks and set aside.
  3. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook pasta until al dente, then reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water and drain.
  4. Deglaze the skillet used for the mushrooms and leeks with white wine or vegetable broth, scraping up browned bits. Reduce the liquid by half over medium heat.
  5. Add shredded Gruyere cheese gradually, stirring until melted. Thin with reserved pasta water if needed. Season with salt and pepper.
  6. Combine cooked pasta with the sauce, tossing gently. Add caramelized leeks and mushrooms, mixing well.

Notes

  • Use a good quality Gruyere cheese for extra flavor.
  • Feel free to add a sprinkle of fresh herbs like thyme or parsley at the end for added freshness.
  • If you prefer a richer sauce, stir in a splash of heavy cream or extra butter.
