Method

step 1

Cook the pasta following pack instructions and reserve a mugful of the pasta cooking water. Drain thoroughly. Heat the olive oil in a frying pan over a medium-high heat. Stir in the leeks and walnuts, season well, reduce the heat to medium and cook gently for 10-12 mins until softened. Mix in the garlic and chilli flakes, if using, and cook for a further 2 mins until fragrant.
step 2

Stir through the cooked pasta, along with a generous splash of the pasta cooking water. Crumble in half the goat’s cheese, stir to melt and season to taste. Dot over the remaining goat’s cheese to serve.
