Level: Easy
Serves: 4 to 6
Ingredients
Directions
- Salt
- 500g whole-wheat or whole-grain spaghetti
- 750g pounds mixed mushrooms - shiitake, crimini, any that catch your eye at market
- 1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil, eyeball it
- 2 leeks
- 3 to 4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh thyme leaves (or 1 tbsp dry thyme)
- 1/2 cup vegetable stock
- 1/2 cup cream
- Grated Parmigiano-Reggiano or Romano, for topping ( I use cheddar when I run out of Parmigiano)
Directions
- Heat water to a boil for the pasta, salt water, drop in pasta and cook to al dente.
- Wipe mushrooms clean with damp towel. Remove woody stems. Thinly slice the mushrooms.
- Heat a large deep skillet with extra-virgin olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms and cook until deeply golden and tender, 10 minutes.
- While mushrooms cook, halve the leeks lengthwise. Cut off a couple of inches from tough tops. Trim off root end.
- Thinly slice the leek then vigorously wash in a large bowl of cold water, separating all the layers to free of grit.
- Let leeks sit a few minutes then lift out of the water and dry on kitchen towel.
- Add leeks to mushrooms along with garlic and season with salt, pepper and fresh thyme.
- Cook 3 to 4 minutes more then add stock, reduce half a minute then stir in cream and heat through.
- Toss pasta with mushrooms and adjust seasoning. Top with grated cheese at the table.
