Mushroom and Leek Pasta with Garlic Bruschette
- Prep Time: 10
- Cook Time: 20
- Total Time: 30 minutes
Ingredients
2 tablespoons olive oil
8 ounces mushrooms, trimmed and sliced (cremini or bella work well)
sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 garlic clove, peeled and chopped
1 leek, quartered and sliced thin
1 cup chicken stock
8 lasagne sheets, fresh or dried (These work really well- Just boil them until tender, about 4 minutes. They're intended as a no-boil pasta, but when boiled, they taste more like fresh pasta than the long thick lasagna noodles with rippled edges.)
1/2 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons roughly chopped tarragon leaves
For the garlic bruschette-
3-4 slices bread, such as ciabatta, French, or Italian loaf
olive oil
1 garlic clove, peeled and halved
Instructions
- Heat a large frying pan and add a dash of oil. Season the mushrooms with salt and pepper and start to saute them, adding the garlic after 2 minutes and the leek a minute later. Cook for 6-8 minutes until the leek is soft and the mushrooms are colored on the outside Taste and adjust the seasoning.
- Add the stock and boil for 5 minutes until reduced by half.
- Meanwhile, cook the lasagne sheets in a large saucepan of boiling salted water for 4 minutes or until just al dente.
- While the lasagne is cooking, add the cream to the frying pan and simmer for 2-3 minutes to reduce a little.
- When the lasagne sheets are cooked, drain and add to the pan with the sauce, stirring until well coated. Turn off the heat, add the tarragon leaves, and allow to sit while the bread toasts.
- To prepare the bruschette: Preheat a grill pan or the broiler. Rub the slives of ciabatta with olive oil and the cut side of the garlic clove and toast for 1-2 minutes on each side until golden brown.
- To serve, spoon the lasagne and mushroom mixture onto serving plates. Serve the toasted bruschette slices on the side.
