1 Red pepper

4 Garlic cloves chopped

100 g Baby Spinach

2 tsp Oil

80 g Butter

100 ml Chicken or veg stock

1 tsp Mixed herbs

1 Handful of chives chopped

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
