Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons butter (salted or unsalted are fine)
  • 1 leek (cleaned and cut into small pieces, leafy green parts discarded (roughly 1 ½-2 cups))
  • 3 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 2 tablespoons white wine
  • 1 ½ cups chicken stock
  • ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • pinch of salt
  • 1 cup asparagus (cut into bite-sized pieces, woody stalks discarded)
  • 1 cup mushrooms (quartered)
  • 4 oz linguine
  • ½ tablespoon (all purpose flour)
  • 12 large raw shrimp (thawed and peeled)

Garnish

  • fresh parsley
  • Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  • In a 4 quart pot, melt butter over medium heat.
  • Add the leeks and cook for 5 or so minutes, until soft.
  • Add the garlic and stir for one minute.
  • Add the wine, and scrape any bits off the bottom of the pan. Cook for 1-2 minutes until volume is roughly reduced in half.
  • Add the chicken stock, red pepper flakes, salt, asparagus, mushrooms and linguine. Using a spoon, gently press the linguine down until it is submerged in the liquid (this may take a few minutes).
  • Cover pot with a lid, and stir every 2 minutes or so, until linguine is cooked al dente (10-15 minutes).
  • Sprinkle evenly with flour and gently stir to thicken sauce.
  • Fold the shrimp into the pasta, cover the pot with a lid, and reduce heat to low. Cook for 5 more minutes, stirring occasionally, or until shrimp is cooked through.
  • Serve immediately with Parmesan cheese and parsley.

Notes

This recipe makes an odd-sized batch; use the slider on this card to increase the serving size if you'd like.
 
Storage
  • Cooked pasta may be stored in the fridge for up to 4 days (though shrimp is best eaten within 2 days).
  • Reheat in the microwave until steaming hot.
Recipe tips
  • while cooking, the alcohol should fully evaporate off the white wine, but if you are uncomfortable serving to children you can leave it out
  • feel free to swap the shrimp with 1 inch chicken thigh cubes; add at the start with the pasta and stock, and be sure they are fully cooked through by cutting one open before serving
  • the red pepper flakes add a nice gentle heat but are easily left out
