Another pasta dish for you!
The main ingredients - sorry for the crudeness of some of my ingredients here, feel free to use fresh!
1 large onion
knob of butter
olive oil
1 garlic clove, finely chopped
1 leek
250g spinach
2 tablespoon of cream cheese
2 tablespoons of thyme (preferably fresh, but I've got dried here)
1 baguette of bread (half-cooked to bake in the oven)
ground black pepper
Some sun-dried tomato spead
a little bit of grated cheddar
fusili pasta
1. melt the oil and butter in a pan and sweat the onions on a low heat for 10-15 minutes in a large pan.
2. Start cooking the pasta to the packet instructions and pre-heat the oven to 200 degrees.
3. Once the onions have sweated, ass the thyme and garlic and stir well.
4. Wash and slice the leek and then slice again into halves. Wash the spinach.
5. Add the leek, stir well, then add the spinach and cook on a medium heat until reduced down.
6. Once the spinach has been reduced down, season with some black pepper and then add the cream cheese.
7. Stir well, on a low heat(don't boil it up) to keep warm.
8. Cook the bread as per the packet instructions (they usually take about 10 minutes in a pre-heated oven).
9. Cut in half with a bread knife and then half longways and spreads out. Smear with sun-dried tomato past (I used a Dolmio spread with tuned out lovely!). Then sprinkle with a little cheddar.
10. Put under the grill for 5 minutes or so or until the cheese has melted.
11. Once that is done, add the fusili to the sauce and serve with the bread and a nice glass of white wine. Bon apetit!
