Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by washing and slicing the leeks and mushrooms. Measure out Gruyere cheese and heavy cream.

  3. Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and sauté for an additional 5–7 minutes until browned and tender.
  4. Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream and Gruyere cheese for 3–5 minutes until melted and sauce thickens.

  6. Serve the pasta immediately, garnished with additional Gruyere cheese or fresh herbs.
