Instructions

2-serving instructions (4-serving modifications in red)

Wash produce before use

1

Cook the fusilli

Bring a medium sauce pot of generously salted water to a boil. Separate the fusilli so the noodles don’t clump together during cooking. Add the fusilli and cook, stirring occasionally, until just tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Drain the fusilli, reserving ¼ cup [½ cup] pasta cooking water. Meanwhile, prepare the remaining ingredients. 

2

Prep the remaining ingredients

  • Cut the mushrooms into ¼-inch-thick slices.
  • Trim the root end from the leek; cut the leek in half lengthwise, then crosswise into thin half-moons. Rinse well.
  • Remove any coarse stems from the broccoli leaves; cut the leaves crosswise into ½-inch-wide strips. 
  • In a small bowl, stir together the cheddar, yogurt, and half each of the whole grain mustard and Dijon mustard, adding more to taste. 

3

Cook the vegetables; finish the dish

In a large sauce pot over medium-high heat, warm 1 tablespoon oil until hot but not smoking. Add the mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until starting to soften, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the leek, season with salt, and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and translucent, 2 to 3 minutes. Working in batches if needed, add the broccoli leaves and smoky spice blend and cook, stirring occasionally, until the leaves are wilted and the spice blend is fragrant, 2 to 3 minutes. 

Remove from the heat and stir in the cheddar mixture, fusilli, and reserved pasta cooking water. Season to taste with salt and pepper. 

Serve

Transfer the fusilli to individual bowls and serve.
