  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta until al dente, about 8 to 10 minutes. Reserve ½ cup of pasta water, then drain the pasta.
  2. Melt butter and olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add sliced leeks and sauté for 12 to 15 minutes until golden brown.
  3. Add sliced mushrooms to the skillet and sauté for 6 to 8 minutes. Then, add minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
  4. Pour in heavy cream, then add gruyere cheese gradually, stirring until melted and the sauce is silky.
  5. Toss the drained pasta with the sauce, adding reserved pasta water if needed to reach desired consistency.
  6. Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.
