One Pot Leek and Mushroom Pasta
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 4 oz Baby Bella Mushrooms, sliced
- 1 Leek, trimmed and thinly sliced (white and light green parts only)
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- Kosher Salt & Black Pepper, to taste
- 1 tablespoon Balsamic Vinegar
- 1/2 teaspoon Umami Seasoning, I bought this at Trader Joe's
- 1/2 teaspoon Everything but the Leftover's Seasoning Blend, I bought this at Trader Joe's
- 8 oz Pasta, I used shells, can use another small pasta shape
- 3 cups Chicken Broth, add additional broth or water as needed
- 1/2 Lemon, juice & zest
- 3 sprigs Fresh Thyme, remove the leaves from the stems
- 2 oz Brie, I used Trader Joe's Brie with Wild Mushrooms
- 1 tablespoon Butter
- Parmesan Cheese, Red Pepper Flakes, Salt & Pepper, Lemon Juice , optional to serve
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a Dutch Oven or large pot over medium heat. Add the mushrooms and leeks. Season with a pinch of salt. Cook for 7 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add garlic and cook another minute.
- Pour in balsamic vinegar and stir to deglaze the pan. Add the Umami seasoning blend and Everything but the Leftover's seasoning blend. If you don't have a Trader Joe's, substitue with the seasonings of your choice. Cook for 2 minutes.
- Add the uncooked pasta and broth/water. Stir to combine and season to taste with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil and cook for 15 minutes or until the pasta is al dente and most of the liquid is absorbed. Add more broth/water throughout the cooking process as needed. Stir every few minutes so the pasta doesn't stick to the bottom of the pan.
- Once the pasta is al dente, sqeeze in the lemon juice. Add the lemon zest, fresh thyme leaves, brie, and butter. Stir to combine until melted.
- Serve immediatly with toppings such as red pepper flakes, parmesan cheese, additional lemon juice, and salt & pepper.
