Method

  • step 1

    Heat the oil in a large saucepan. Stir in the leeks, 2 tbsp water and some seasoning, cover, then cook for 5 mins over a medium heat until softened. Add the mushrooms and garlic, then cook for 3 mins more. Meanwhile, cook the spaghetti according to pack instructions, then drain, reserving a little of the cooking liquid.

  • step 2

    Stir the soft cheese into the leek and mushroom mixture, adding enough of the reserved pasta liquid to give a sauce-like consistency. Add the ham, basil leaves and Parmesan, then toss in the spaghetti.

Works very well with a crumbly feta and a bit of chicken stock stirred in.

Made without mushrooms (otherwise my daughter wouldn't have touched it) but still good. Next time am going to try bacon or pancetta instead of ham and might add some baby spinach or another veg to up the 'green' credential!

Loved this- so quick, simple and delicious!

This was such a great meal - I used a Roule white soft cheese with garlic with a bit of creme fraiche. This is becoming one of our favourites :)

Used finely chopped fresh Rosemary in the oil at the leek stage instead of using Basil. It works really well.
