I got this receipe from a Gordon Ramsay cooking show. I think it is called 10minute pasta but F**K off Pasta sounds good too.


1 leek chopped into circles
1/2 cup of diced bacon
1 cup of sliced mushrooms
2 tablespoons of sour cream
2 tablespoons of thickened cream
1/2 cup of cooked peas
Pasta

Put the pasta on to boil
Put a little oil in a big pan
Add bacon bits and leek and stir until cooked
Add mushrooms
Turn heat down
Add sour cream and thickened cream
Season with pepper
Mix through pasta

I use in a similar way (I love leek)

wonderful for mushroom & leek soup however you need more.

I made last night -

cook some pasta

chop leek (You need to rinse hte inside of it a bit as it gets dirt in there, i dont bother too much)

cook with some chopped mushrooms, and some other green veg ie chopped asparagus, chopped broccoli or whatever

throw through a tub of thickened cream (i use light), a tin of salmon and a half cup of peas, heat gently.


done.

Finely slice leek and finely sliced cabbage, sautee gently in butter and garlic, with a sprinkling of sesame seeds.

Or I use it in curries... dice the leek and carrots, sautee in butter, then add your usual spices/sauces etc.

Use it in place of onions... leek flan, sliced leek in between your potato layers for scalloped potatioes or au gratin.

I make an awesome leek and asparagus pie!!

Just slice the leek
blanche some asparagus (or use canned if you like)
Then sautee the leek, add the asparagus and 1 1/2 cups of stock (or asparagus juice if using cans)
Then add cheese sauce (I usually make my own but store bought would be fine) about 1 cup
I the just throw in whatever is in the fridge mushrooms or zucchini or chicken if it for DP
pour all of that into a pie dish and put your pastry on top.
Bake until golden.
