Leek, Porcini and Sausage Pasta Recipe 🧄
13 steps
Prep:10minCook:30min
I just know this is going to be one of those recipe that I’ll make over and over for the rest of my life!

I saw @Julius Roberts make this and I had everything to recreate it except for fennel, so I used some porcini mushrooms instead (I know they are nothing alike but just needed something haha) it was SO GOOD.
I can’t even explain how much flavour is in here. And its the perfect amount of creaminess. Not a super heavy creamy pasta, but just a light creaminess.
