Method
Pasta: Cook pasta per instructions, drain, rinse and set aside. Keep 1/2 cup of the pasta water for later.
Sauce: Heat a large pan over medium/high heat. Add olive oil and the leeks, sauté for 2 minutes.
Add mushrooms, garlic and peas, and sauté uncovered, stirring often for 8 minutes or until mushrooms are soft.
Deglaze pan by adding the water and cream, reduce uncovered.
Add cooked pasta to the pan. If too dry, add the reserved pasta water to moisten.
Season with salt and pepper to taste. Add most of the dill or alternative herbs and toss through.
Transfer to serving bowl and garnish with remaining herbs and cheese.
