Step by Step Method

Step 1

I like to get my pot of water on to be boiling ready for the spaghetti at this time.

Step 2

Trim the roots, and outer leaves and green tops from the leeks; cut the white parts of the leeks into rings and wash under running water then drain well. Chop the onion finely; dice the de rinded bacon and chop the pine nuts coarsely.

Step 3

Heat the butter and oil in a large pan over a low heat when heated add the leeks, onion, bacon and chopped pine nuts and cook until golden.

Step 4

Add spinach and season with salt and pepper to taste and add the wine. Allow to evaporate and add the mashed tomatoes. Simmer until the sauce has reduced a little, then add the cream. Stir through and leave on a low heat for about 10 minutes.

Step 5

Cook the pasta in a large pan of lightly salted water until al dente. Drain and pur the sauce over the top of the spaghetti and mix through well.

Step 6

Serve immediately topped with the grated parmesan cheese.

This is so good! I wasn't sure what to expect but my family loved this! I basically doubled almost everything except for the tomatoes but they really enjoyed this dish! I used half and half for the light cream and made as directed. Thanks for sharing!
