Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 large leek cleaned and sliced
- 2 cloves garlic smashed
- ½ teaspoon dried tarragon
- 8 ounces brown cremini mushrooms sliced
- 1 lemon zest and juice
- 1 pound dried penne pasta
- 4 cup vegetable or chicken stock
- 1 cup water
- 1 head broccoli cut into florets (about 1 cup)
- 2 tablespoon unsalted butter
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- ¼ cup chopped fresh parsley
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
-
Pre-heat a large sauteuse or sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and leeks and cook over medium heat, until the leeks start to soften – about 5 minutes.
-
Stir in the mushrooms and cook without stirring for 2 to 3 minutes so the mushrooms start to brown. Add the garlic and tarragon and toss, cooking for another minute or so.
-
Add the juice of ½ lemon and scrape up any brown bits on the bottom of the pan. Add the pasta, stock, and water, stirring well to ensure the pasta is covered with liquid. Toss the broccoli florets on top, cover the pan with a lid and simmer over medium heat for 10 minutes (or the time suggested on the box of pasta if using a different shape).
-
When the pasta is al dente, remove the pan from the heat and stir in the butter, Parmesan cheese and parsley. Season to taste with juice from the remaining lemon half salt and freshly ground black pepper and serve with a sprinkling of lemon zest.
