A quick, easy dish perfect for lunch or dinner
Fill a pot with salted boiling water,add the spaghetti and cook for 10-12 mns
Meanwhile heat 1 tsp of oil in a pan and fry the leek and pepper till soft
Add a small handful of mushrooms,stir through.
fry for 2 mns then set aside
Heat the remaining oil,butter,garlic and herbs
Add the rest of the mushrooms making sure they are coated in butter
Add the stock and simmer for 5 mns on a med/high heat till the stock has reduced as this intensifies the flavours
Add the spinach
Stir through till it wilts and is coated in the sauce
Add the butter mixture to the pan of leek and peppers and stir through. I added some fresh chopped tomatoes that needed using up too but this is optional
Drain the cooked Spaghetti and add to the pan
Stir through, season with black pepper and a little salt if needed
Serve with warm crusty bread
Sub the Spaghetti with any pasta you like.
Sub the leeks for onions and add extra veg if you want. Spring greens work well
You can also add cooked chicken or ham to this if you want to bulk it out and make it a more substantial meal
