Cooking Instructions

The protein cooking time listed in this recipe has been updated.

As of December 2025, we’ve revised cooking times for all our proteins to reflect improved food safety guidance.

Check out the latest recommended times in our Cooking Guidelines.

Before you start

  • Bring a large saucepan filled with salted water to a boil
  • Pull out a large frying pan, a measuring jug & a sieve

Fry the 'shrooms

  • Thinly slice the portobello and shiitake mushrooms. Trim and thinly slice the leeks into half-moons. Finely chop or crush the garlic
  • Heat the large frying pan with 1 tbsp oil on medium-high heat. Once hot, add the mushrooms and cook for 4-5 mins, until golden. Season with salt and pepper

Boil the pasta

  • Add the casarecce to the saucepan and boil for 8-9 mins, until cooked, then drain

Build the flavour

  • Turn the heat down to medium, add the leeks and garlic to the pan, then cook for another 3-4 mins, until softened
  • Stir in the cream, stock powder and 200ml water. Bring to a boil, then stir in three-quarters of the goat's cheese until combined
  • Simmer for 3-4 mins, until the sauce has thickened

Last bits

  • Cut the lemon into wedges. Finely chop the chives. Rinse the spinach
  • Stir the cooked pasta, spinach and half the chives into the sauce. Add a squeeze of lemon juice
  • Simmer for 1 min, until the spinach has wilted, then remove from the heat

Plate up

  • Taste and season with salt and pepper if needed. Add a splash of water if it's a little thick
  • Serve into bowls and crumble over the remaining goat's cheese. Drizzle with the truffle oil and garnish with the remaining chives
  • Serve the lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over
