This delectable dish features mezzi rigatoni pasta tossed in a creamy labneh béchamel with deeply savory leek purée and sautéed leeks. A medley of wild mushrooms adds a delightful earthy flavor and meaty texture, while a splash of white wine at the end brings balance to the dish. To take it over the top, Chef garnishes the rich pasta with toasted bread crumbs with nigella seeds, walnuts and crispy garlic for crunch. Created by Chef Einat, this culinary masterpiece is a must-try from Balaboosta.
