Steps

1Fill a large pot of water and set aside.
2Cut the mushrooms into smaller pieces.
3Use a large pan and heat to high. Once it is hot, add the butter and as it is melting add all the mushrooms. *don’t add salt or they will become soggy. The mushrooms need to cook for 7-10 minutes on high heat or they will become very watery.
4As the mushrooms cook and start to look golden brown, start boiling the water in the large pot for the pasta.
5Once the mushrooms start to brown, add the leeks, salt and pepper. Cook for 5 minutes on medium. If they are sticking to the pan add 1 to 2 tablespoons of oil.
6Add the thyme and 1 tablespoon of the chives. Incorporate everything into the mushrooms. Bring the heat to low and allow everything to cook together for another 2-5 minutes. Taste the mushrooms and leeks and adjust seasoning.
7Boil 5 oz of pasta with salted water. Cook the pasta just until it becomes al dente. Ideally pull out the pasta about 2 minutes before the package instructions. It will be very al dente. *Reserve about 1 ½ cups of pasta water.
8Add the pasta into the pan with the mushrooms and ½ cup of pasta water. Cook on medium high for 3-5 minutes. As the water starts to evaporate taste the pasta. If the center of the pasta is still hard add another ½ cup of pasta water.
9Continue to mix together. *Finishing the cooking process of the pasta in the mushrooms and pasta water helps the mushrooms absorb all the flavors. Add the herbs and a handful of grated cheese and fold into the pasta.
10Serve the pasta and top with a drizzle of olive oil and a generous portion of truffle cheese
