Wisps of raw asparagus are a crunchy foil for the chewy pasta. Use a vegetable peeler to create the asparagus and cheese ribbons. Prep: 20 minutes
Total: 25 minutes Ingredients
    2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons  extra-virgin olive oil
    1 pound  cremini mushrooms, thinly sliced
    3  leeks, (white and pale-green parts only), cut into 2-inch matchsticks and rinsed well
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
    1 cup  chicken stock
    8 ounces  whole-wheat linguine
    8  asparagus spears, shaved lengthwise into curls (2 cups)
    1 ounce  Parmigiano-Reggiano, shaved

Directions
1. Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large high-sided skillet over high heat. Cook mushrooms, stirring occasionally, until browned, about 7 minutes. Add leeks and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cook for 2 minutes.
2. Add stock. Reduce heat to medium. Simmer until reduced by half, about 5 minutes.
3. Meanwhile, bring a large pot of water to a boil. Cook pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain, reserving 1/4 cup cooking water.
