Step‑by‑Step Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook for 8–10 minutes until al dente. Reserve ½ cup pasta water, then drain.
- In a large skillet, heat butter and olive oil over medium heat. Add sliced leeks and sauté for 12–15 minutes until golden brown.
- Stir in sliced mushrooms and cook for 6–8 minutes. Add minced garlic and sauté for an additional minute until fragrant.
- Lower heat and add heavy cream. Gradually stir in shredded Gruyere cheese until melted and creamy.
- Toss the cooked pasta in the cheese sauce. If sauce is too thick, add reserved pasta water until desired consistency is reached. Season with salt and pepper.
- Serve immediately and garnish with parsley if desired.

Notes
Customize with additional vegetables or proteins as desired. Ensure leeks are caramelized properly for sweetness.
