Steps

  1. Bring a pot of salted water to the boil. Prep veggies & cook sauce. Heat a drizzle of oil in a fry-pan on medium-high heat. Cook leek for 4-5 minutes, until tender.

Add garlic and cook for about 2 minutes, until fragrant and starting to brown. Return pasta to pot with butter and toss to coat.
