OKAY, guys and gals: let’s talk. This Mushroom Leek Orecchiette in White Wine Butter Sauce is magical. And easy. And Light and refreshing and delicious.
This was a meal that came together with the few items I still had in my fridge on a lovely Friday evening. I pulled out some leeks and mushrooms and went to town.
This dish is Oh so simple, my friends. It can easily be prepared in less than 30 minutes, and is perfect for the whole family. It also makes great leftovers might I add. This is a vegetarian dish, however, feel free to add protein of choice. It would pair perfectly with shrimp, chicken, or even sausage. YUMMMMMMMERS.
