Step 1

Begin by crisping up your leeks. Silce leek thinly, and pull rings apart. Rinse and pat dry in some paper towel. Toss in a few spoonfuls of cornstarch. Heat some olive oil in a pan - shaking off any excess, fry your leeks on medium heat til golden and crispy. Drain on some paper towel and set aside.

Step 2

Boil the water and add the salt. Once boiling, add pasta - cooking for 2 minutes less than the packet instructions. Add peas during the last minute and reserve 1 cup of pasta water before draining pasta and peas.

Step 3

In a blender blend together all sauce ingredients until very smooth. Taste and adjust to your liking. Season with salt and pepper.

Step 4

Pour sauce into a pan and heat for a few minutes before adding your pasta and stirring until hot through.

Serve with topped with a drizzle of sour cream, olive oil, crispy leeks, chilli flakes and a wedge of lemon!
