  • Total Time: 30

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 oz pasta (of your choice, I love using fettuccine)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cups leeks (sliced, white and light green parts only)
  • 3 cups mushrooms (sliced, cremini or button)
  • 3 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup Gruyere cheese (grated)
  • Salt and pepper (to taste)
  • Fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)

Instructions

  • Cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  • In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the leeks and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
  • Add the mushrooms to the skillet and cook until they are browned and have released their moisture, about 6-8 minutes.
  • Stir in the garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
  • Pour in the heavy cream, stirring to combine. Allow the mixture to simmer gently for 2-3 minutes.
  • Add the Gruyere cheese, stirring until melted and the sauce is smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Toss the cooked pasta into the skillet, ensuring each strand is well coated with the sauce.
  • Serve immediately, garnished with fresh parsley.
