Well I made this last evening (Valentines day) and it was stunningly good. I did a couple of changes, I took the lid off the pan for the last 15 minutes to release some of the moisture, I also added 75g of cheese instead of 50g and I did serve it would some grilled salmon, stunning stunning stunning, one for the list for the future, oh, and as I only used the whites of the leeks I froze the green parts (chopped up) so I can use in a leek and potato soup some time soon. . (zero waste)

I like Jamie, he's pleasant, explains things well and no silly drama or temper, and does nice, accessible meals often with an Italian flavour that suit my tastes. I'm making this tonight as a late supper, I have leeks, fresh pasta, oil etc, and didn't know you should slice lengthways first.

Samee Keeping the lid on kept pretty much every drop of the moisture in I was hoping the noodles would absorb the liquid but it didn't really hold Best to next time take the lid off earlier and let it reduce I'm thinking Edit: If you give it time to rest, the noodles CAN indeed absorb the liquid if you toss them a couple of times after mixing it all together. Mix, then rest, then mix again and finally serve.

So many recipes online seem to me far too salty. This one has plenty of salt in with the leeks at the start followed by plenty of salty Parmesan. A low salt diet is recommended these days isn’t it? I know that some salt enhances flavour, so does pouring cream into the food, but I think that there are other ways to a tasty result which are far more healthy.
