Ingredients
- 12 ounces shaped pasta, such as farfalle
- 3 ounces chopped pancetta
- 2 whole leeks, sliced thin
- 1 tablespoon butter, optional
- 1/2 cup dry white wine
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- Salt and freshly ground pepper
- Shaved Parmesan, for serving
Instructions
- Cook the pasta according to package directions to al dente and set aside, reserving 1/2 cup of the pasta water.
- Saute the pancetta in a large skillet over medium heat until the fat is rendered and it starts to brown. Add the leeks and cook, about 8 minutes. When you add the leeks, you can also throw in a pat or 2 of butter if you want to. This’ll give the dish some scrumptious flavor.
- After 8 to 10 minutes, pour in the wine, and then cook until reduced, an additional 1 to 2 minutes. Reduce the heat to low, and then pour in the cream. Add salt and pepper to taste. Stir in some Parmesan.
- Toss in the pasta, adding a little pasta water to thin as needed. Serve with Parmesan over the top – delicious!

Easy. Had most of the ingredients on hand. Def needs the salt and pepper. Nice comfort meal.
I fixed this for dinner tonight and got 6 thumbs up! Definitely a keeper.
I give it 5 stars,my Familie, grandkids everybody likes the leek pasta.
Excellent, easy recipe!
Amazing flavor combo & easy to put together. I subbed applewood smoked bacon for the pancetta.
Meh.
Wow. This came out way better than expected. I was surprised by how much I enjoyed it. Made it for my girlfriend and she loved it. The pancetta and leeks compliment each other well. I would definitely make this again. Thanks Ree
Make this receipe at least 3-4 times a month by request from family. Very good.
Read easy recipe to follow I will make this again
Wow is this good! I made this using the suggestion of 8 oz pasta (I had mini farfalle) and it is still more than 4 servings for myself and my husband since we also had a salad. I had a 4 oz package of pancetta so I did not double it but I think 6 oz. would be nice. I also added about 1-1 1/2 cups frozen green peas toward the end of the 8 minutes cooking time of the leeks just to get more veggies and because I love them. I saved some pasta water to use when I reheat leftovers. We really enjoyed this pasta.
