Fresh, organic leeks are amazing right now. I didn't like much leeks until I had them in my veg box, and discovered how fresh and sweet they can really be and I think they're a great alternative to harsh onions.
Leeks are great in this easy pasta dish that could use ham or smoked salmon.
For 2 people:
- slice 2 medium slice leeks thinly,
- gently fry them in 2 dessertspoons of butter with a drop olive oil to stop the butter burning.
- Add about 100 grams of smoked ham or smoked salmon cut into strips
- Add a small glass of dry white wine and reduce
- Cook enough farfalle for 2 people in lots of well salted water
- When al dente, drain the pasta and return to the saucepan, add the leek and ham sauce, stir well
Serve topped with parmesan or grana padano. For cheeky and luxuriant dish, add some cream to the leeks.
