Ingredients:
75g young broad beans (use frozen if you can’t get fresh)
2 x 100 pack asparagus tips
170g peas (use frozen if you can’t get fresh)
350g of spaghetti or tagliatell
175g pack baby leaks, trimmed + sliced
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp butter
200ml of fromage frais/creme fraiche (fresh cheese)
Handful chopped veg (mint, parsley and chives)
Method:
STEP 1
Bring a pan of salted water to the boil and put a steamer (or colander) over the water. Steam the beans, asparagus and peas until just tender, then set aside. Boil the pasta following pack instructions.
STEP 2
Meanwhile, fry the leeks gently in the oil and butter for 5 mins or until soft. Add the fromage frais to the leeks and very gently warm through, stirring constantly to ensure it doesn’t split. Add the herbs and steamed vegetables with a splash of pasta water to loosen.
STEP 3
Drain the pasta and stir into the sauce. Adjust the seasoning, then serve scattered with the cheese and drizzled with a little extra olive oil.
