Dinner with 9 ingredients.

Servings: 4

Total time: 30 minutes

Ingredients

• 2 teaspoon olive oil
• 2 medium leeks thinly sliced
• 200 gram chestnut mushroom sliced
• 2 garlic cloves crushed
• 300 gram spaghetti
• small pack basil
• 25 gram grated parmesan
• 140 gram low-fat soft cheese
• 85 gram wafer-thin smoked ham shredded

Method

1. Heat the oil in a large saucepan. Stir in the leeks, 2 tbsp water and some seasoning, cover, then cook for 5 mins over a medium heat until softened. Add the mushrooms and garlic, then cook for 3 mins more. Meanwhile, cook the spaghetti according to pack instructions, then drain, reserving a little of the cooking liquid.
2. Stir the soft cheese into the leek and mushroom mixture, adding enough of the reserved pasta liquid to give a sauce-like consistency. Add the ham, basil leaves and Parmesan, then toss in the spaghetti.
