Method
- Heat a good knob of butter in a pan. Fry together the garlic and the rosemary for 30 seconds. Add the mushrooms and fry over a high heat for 5 minutes until they’re golden brown and all the moisture has evaporated. Season the mushrooms, then spoon onto a plate and set aside.
- Add another knob of butter to the pan and fry the leeks over a low heat for 10 minutes until softened. Add the wine and bubble until mostly evaporated, then add the double cream. Season well, then mix in the garlicky mushrooms.
- Meanwhile, cook the tagliatelle in boiling water for 8 minutes or according to the pack instructions, drain, then toss with the leeks and mushrooms. Season and stir in a handful of chopped fresh parsley and a good grating of parmesan or vegetarian alternative.
