Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and add tagliatelle. Cook according to package directions or until just al dente. Drain, reserving 1/4 cup (50 ml) pasta cooking water.
- Heat 1 tbsp (15 ml) olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add 1 tsp (5 ml) chopped garlic and breadcrumbs and sauté until breadcrumbs are crisp, about 2 minutes. Stir in 1 tbsp (15 ml) chopped parsley, season with salt and transfer to a bowl. Reserve.
- Heat remaining 3 tbsp (45 ml) oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add leeks and sauté for 1 minute or until slightly softened. Add mushrooms and remaining 2 tsp (10 ml) garlic and cook for another 3 minutes or until mushrooms are limp and exuding some juice. Stir in lemon rind and 2 tbsp (30 ml) lemon juice. Add stock and basil leaves and cook for 30 seconds or until basil has just wilted. Season well with salt and pepper.
- Toss tagliatelle with mushroom and lemon mixture. Stir in reserved pasta cooking water, remaining 1 tbsp (15 ml) lemon juice, remaining 1 tbsp (15 ml) parsley and extra-virgin olive oil. Toss with breadcrumbs. Divide pasta between 4 individual serving plates and serve immediately.
