This was not bad at all and quite easy to make if you have access to soba noodles. I don't, so I made buckwheat noodles beforehand, which adds a bit of time to the preparation.

The sauce itself is a snap. Soak some dried mushrooms (I used the end of a jar of mélange forestière and some shiitakes.) Sauté them, adding a bit of leek and garlic along the way. Mix with sour cream and parmesan and you're done.

There's no point in browning the butter for the sauce in a small saucepan and then moving everything to a skillet. Just use a pan everything will fit into easily.

The sauce needed lots of salt at the table. I think it would be good to add a bit with the leeks.

Soft goat cheese instead of sour cream might be really nice.
