Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 ounce fettuccine or linguine
  • 2 large leeks, sliced (white and light green parts only)
  • 8 ounce cremini or button mushrooms, sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 1/2 cup shredded Gruyere cheese
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish (optional)

Instructions

1. 1. Cook the Pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the fettuccine or linguine according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

2. 2. Sauté the Leeks and Mushrooms: In a large skillet, heat the butter and olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced leeks and mushrooms, and sauté until they’re soft and tender, about 5-7 minutes.

3. 3. Add the Garlic: Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute, until fragrant.

4. 4. Make the Sauce: Reduce the heat to low, then add the heavy cream and shredded Gruyere cheese. Stir continuously until the cheese has melted and the sauce is smooth and creamy.

5. 5. Combine the Pasta and Sauce: Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and toss everything together until the pasta is evenly coated with the creamy Gruyere sauce.

6. 6. Season and Serve: Season the Creamy Mushroom Gruyere Pasta with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired. Serve hot and enjoy every bite!

Notes

To ensure your Creamy Mushroom Gruyere Pasta turns out perfectly every time, keep these tips in mind:

– Cook the Pasta Al Dente: Avoid overcooking the pasta, as you want it to have a slight bite and hold up well in the creamy sauce.

– Choose the Best Mushrooms: Opt for fresh, high-quality cremini or button mushrooms for the best texture and flavor.

– Prevent Curdling: When adding the Gruyere cheese to the sauce, make sure to reduce the heat and stir constantly to prevent the cheese from curdling.

– Adjust the Sauce Consistency: If the sauce becomes too thick, you can thin it out by adding a splash of reserved pasta cooking water. For a thicker sauce, let it simmer for a bit longer.

– Customize with Protein or Veggies: For a heartier meal, you can add grilled chicken, shrimp, or even roasted vegetables to the pasta.
