Pasta With Eggs,Cheese, Leeks And Cream

 

1 pound dried pasta or 3/4 pound fresh pasta, angel hair, penne or gemelli

3 medium leeks

1/4 cup butter

4 eggs

1/4 cup parmesean cheese, freshly grated

1/4 cup light cream or evaporated milk

salt

fresh ground pepper

 

Trim the leeks, discarding the root end and the tough green tops. Slice the

leeks lengthwise and wash under cold running water to remove all the dirt. Cut

the white portions and the tender green tops crosswise into very thin slices.

In a large wide frying pan over medium heat melt the butter. Add the leeks and

saute, stirring until tender, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat, cover pan and

keep warm.

In a bowl, beat together the eggs, cheese, cream and salt and pepper to taste.

Set aside.

Cook pasta until almost al dente. Drain the pasta and add it to the frying pan

holding the leeks and raise the heat to high. Pour in the egg mixture and stir

well until the eggs are firm but not dry, 1-2 minutes. Serve immediately. Pass

the more cheese at the table.

Serves 4.
