It’s leeks season and we have leeks coming out of our ears! This is an easy and quick week night recipe. I used vegan cream but whatever cream you have will do. Also I used exotic mushrooms but button mushrooms will work too, they are just a bit bland.

Ingredients

25 min
2 people
  1. 200 gpasta - spaghetti/ linguine or tagliatelle
  2. 1small handful rock salt
  3. 2leeks
  4. 150 gexotic mushrooms (or chestnut mushrooms)
  5. 200 mlcream
  6. 1/2 glassdry white wine
  7. butter
  8. Parmesan shaving for serving

Cooking Instructions

25 min
  1. 1

    Start by boiling a big pot of water for the pasta with the rock salt. When it boils add the pasta and cook as per the instructions

  2. 2

    Whilst the water boils in a pan add the butter and when melted add the mushrooms and cook for 5 minutes or so until they shrink in size and start to brown. Remove from the pan and set aside.

  3. 3

    In the same pan add some butter and cook the thinly chopped leeks for about 10 minutes. Use the wine to cool down the pan and stop the leeks from burning. When they are cooked add the mushrooms and the stir for a couple of minutes. Turn the heat right down and add the cream. Don't let the cream boil if you can avoid it.

  4. 4

    When the pasta is ready keep some of the water from cooking aside, drain it and add the pasta to the pan. Mix well and add the grated parmesan. If it looks too thick add some of the water from the pasta and mix well. Serve hot with a sprinkle of parmesan on top

This is really tasty. Mushrooms and leeks are a good combination.
