CREAMY ONE-POT MUSHROOM AND LEEK PASTA



Creamy One-Pot Mushroom and Leek Pasta image

This deeply satisfying pasta, brimming with rich umami, is made in just one pot, an approach that bolsters its flavors. Once the leek and mushrooms are caramelized and sticking to the pot, they're deglazed to lift all the extra depth from the bottom of the pan. (Use any liquid for deglazing, whether water, wine, stock, vinegar or tomato juice.) This recipe leaves the choice of mushrooms up to you: Cremini and shiitake are a good combination, but you could even use rehydrated porcinis. If you are craving greens to cut through the richness, stir a few handfuls of baby spinach into the pasta just before you turn off the heat.

Time 30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 tablespoons olive oil
1 leek, white part only, finely sliced (about 5 ounces)
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
3 cups mixed mushrooms, such as cremini, shiitake or oyster, torn or sliced (about 6 ounces)
1 lemon, halved
1 pound short pasta, such as orecchiette, cavatappi, gemelli or penne
4 cups vegetable stock
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley, plus more for garnish
Kosher salt and black pepper
1 cup whole-milk ricotta
1/2 to 1 teaspoon red-pepper flakes

Steps:

  • Heat a wide, deep 12-inch skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high. When hot, add the olive oil and leeks, reduce heat to medium and cook, stirring constantly, until softened and lightly golden, 5 minutes.
  • Stir in the garlic and mushrooms. Cook, undisturbed, for 2 minutes, then stir and cook, undisturbed, until the mushrooms start to caramelize and stick to the bottom of the pan, another 2 to 3 minutes. (This allows the water from the mushrooms to evaporate, encouraging caramelization.) Add the juice of one lemon half to deglaze the pan and stir to combine.
  • Add the pasta and stock; stir well. Cover with lid and cook on medium heat. Begin tasting pasta 10 minutes after you add it. (All pasta shapes and brands will have different cooking times. You want the pasta to be just tender.)
  • Once the pasta is cooked, turn off the heat and add the butter and parsley. Squeeze in the juice from the remaining lemon half and stir until butter is melted and dispersed. Season with salt and pepper.
  • To serve, top with ricotta, red-pepper flakes (to taste) and more chopped parsley.

2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/4 cup dry white wine
a 14 1/2-ounce can chicken broth
1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives

Steps:

  • Cut leeks into 1/4-inch-thick rounds. In a large bowl of cold water wash leeks well and lift from water into a colander to drain. Thinly slice mushrooms.

Tips:

  • Choose the right mushrooms. For this recipe, cremini or button mushrooms are good choices. They hold their shape well and have a mild, earthy flavor.
  • Clean the mushrooms properly. Use a damp paper towel to wipe away any dirt or debris. Do not rinse the mushrooms under water, as this will make them soggy.
  • Slice the mushrooms evenly. This will help them cook evenly.
  • Use good quality olive oil. Extra virgin olive oil is the best choice for this recipe. It has a fruity flavor that will complement the mushrooms and leeks.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan. When sautéing the mushrooms and leeks, make sure to do it in batches if necessary. Overcrowding the pan will prevent the vegetables from cooking evenly.
  • Season the vegetables well. Salt and pepper are essential, but you can also add other spices, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or thyme.
  • Cook the vegetables until they are tender but still have a bit of bite. Overcooked vegetables will be mushy and bland.
  • Serve the sautéed mushrooms and leeks immediately. They are best enjoyed hot and fresh.
