Cheesy Leek & Bacon Pasta

Ingredients

• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 11 oz leeks , halved and finely sliced
• 8 rashers smoked streaky bacon , sliced
• 14 oz pasta shapes
• 4 oz herb & garlic soft cheese

Directions

• Heat the oil in a large non-stick frying pan. Add the leeks and 2 tbsp water, and cook for about 10 mins until very soft. Add the bacon, turn up the heat and fry until cooked.
• Meanwhile, cook the pasta following pack instructions. Drain and reserve a mug of the cooking water.
• Spoon cheese into the leek and bacon mix, adding some of the reserved cooking water. Season and stir gently over a low heat until melted. Toss through the cooked pasta, adding a little more cooking water, if needed, to help the sauce coat the pasta.
