Ingredients
  

Pasta
  • 12 ounces Pasta Any pasta shape works well; consider using gluten-free pasta for dietary needs.
Sauce
  • 1-2 pieces Leeks Adds sweetness and depth; substitute with green onions for a milder flavor.
  • 8 ounces Mushrooms Provides an earthy flavor; feel free to use button or cremini mushrooms.
  • 1 cup Heavy Cream Contributes to the creamy texture; for dairy-free, use coconut cream.
  • 1-1.5 cups Gruyere Cheese Offers a nutty and creamy profile; try Parmesan, white cheddar, or Fontina.
  • 2 tablespoons Butter Adds richness and helps caramelize the leeks; olive oil can be an alternative.

Equipment

Cooking Steps
  1. Begin by cleaning and slicing 1-2 leeks and chopping about 8 ounces of mushrooms. Set aside.
  2. In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat, add the sliced leeks, and sauté for about 10 minutes until caramelized.
  3. Add the chopped mushrooms to the skillet and cook for an additional 5-7 minutes until tender and browned.
  4. Stir in the cooked pasta, then add 1 cup of heavy cream and 1 to 1.5 cups of grated Gruyere cheese. Stir over medium heat for about 5 minutes until cheese melts.
