- 200g mushrooms, sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Cook pasta: Cook the pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- Heat oil: In a large pan, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat to prepare for sautéing the vegetables.
- Sauté leeks and garlic: Add the sliced leeks and minced garlic to the pan. Sauté them gently until they become soft and aromatic, about 5 minutes.
- Cook mushrooms: Add the sliced mushrooms to the pan and cook until tender, ensuring they release their moisture and develop a nice texture, about 5-7 minutes.
- Season: Season the vegetable mixture with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste, stirring well to combine flavors.
- Combine pasta and vegetables: Add the drained pasta to the pan with the sautéed leeks and mushrooms. Toss everything together so the pasta is well coated with the flavorful vegetable mixture.

Notes
- You can use any kind of pasta, but spaghetti or linguine works well.
- For extra protein, consider adding a vegan cheese or tofu on the side.
- Adjust seasoning according to your preference, adding chili flakes for a spicy kick.
- Make sure not to overcook the mushrooms to maintain their texture.
- This dish can be paired with a light green salad for a complete meal.
