Ingredients:-
good knob of butter
1 tbsp olive oil
2 large leeks , total weight about 450g/1lb, thinly sliced
500g packets penne rigate or your favourite pasta shape
200ml tub crème fraîche
1 tbsp wholegrain mustard
125g packet English blue cheese , roughly diced
8 sundried tomatoes in oil, drained and thinly sliced
225g bag baby spinach leaves
Melt the butter with the oil in a large pan, tip in the leeks and splash in a little hot water. Cover and cook over a low heat, stirring occasionally, for about 10 minutes until no longer squeaky.
While the leeks are cooking, boil the penne in salted water according to the packet instructions. Meanwhile, tip the crème fraîche and mustard into the leeks, add three-quarters of the cheese and season well. Stir until the cheese melts. Take off the heat.
Drain the pasta, reserving the cooking water. Tip the pasta into the sauce and stir, adding enough cooking water to make the sauce coat the pasta. Stir in the spinach, a big handful at a time, until it wilts, splashing in a little more water if needed. Toss in the remaining cheese and serve.
