Smoky bacon and soft leeks make a quick pasta for the night before the big dinner.
Serves 6
Ingredients
- Kaslo Sourdough hemp rotini, 560 g
- Old Country dry-salted bacon, 325 g
- 2 × Organic leek
- Steel Pony Music garlic, 1 bulb
- Organic grated Parmesan, 125 g
- From your pantry: Salt and pepper
Method
- Cut the bacon into strips and cook it in a large pan until it is crisp. Lift out the bacon and leave the fat in the pan.
- Slice the leeks, rinse out any grit, and cook them in the bacon fat for eight minutes, until they are soft. Add two minced garlic cloves for the last minute.
- Cook the rotini in lightly salted water, because the bacon is salty. Cook it until it is al dente, and save a cup of the pasta water.
- Toss the pasta with the leeks, bacon, Parmesan and enough pasta water to coat everything.
- Finish the pasta with black pepper and serve it right away.
