Ingredients

  • 12 ounces shaped pasta, such as farfalle
  • 3 ounces chopped pancetta
  • 2 whole leeks, sliced thin
  • 1 tablespoon butter, optional
  • 1/2 cup dry white wine
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • Salt and freshly ground pepper
  • Shaved Parmesan, for serving

Directions

Cook the pasta according to package directions to al dente and set aside, reserving 1/2 cup of the pasta water.

Saute the pancetta in a large skillet over medium heat until the fat is rendered and it starts to brown. Add the leeks and cook, about 8 minutes. When you add the leeks, you can also throw in a pat or 2 of butter if you want to. This'll give the dish some scrumptious flavor.

After 8 to 10 minutes, pour in the wine, and then cook until reduced, an additional 1 to 2 minutes. Reduce the heat to low, and then pour in the cream. Add salt and pepper to taste. Stir in some Parmesan.

Toss in the pasta, adding a little pasta water to thin as needed. Serve with Parmesan over the top - delicious!

    This is the first recipe I have tried by Ree. It was delicious and so easy. I had all the ingredients on hand and "surfed" for a recipe on FN! This did not disappoint and will definitely make it again!!

    This was great! Everyone in the family loved it. I didn't have heavy cream-used half and half instead. Very easy and delicious. Next time will try adding artichoke hearts and sundried tomatoes.
