Ingredients

  • Spaghetti Noodles
  • 1 Leek rinsed and sliced
  • 2 cloves Garlic minced or finely chopped
  • 2 Lemons - Zest and Juice
  • ½ tsp Ground Black Pepper
  • Salt to taste
  • 1 handful Fresh Basil chopped

Instructions

  • Place the sliced leeks and minced garlic in a large saucepan or Sauté pan and heat. Place the spaghetti noodles on top and drizzle olive oil over them. Pour enough water into the pan to just cover the spaghetti. Bring to a boil.
  • When the water begins bubbling, add the lemon zest and juice. Season with salt and black pepper and let the pasta cook until it’s Al dente (still has just a little bit of bite left).
  • Place the spaghetti noodles on a plate, load it up with the leeks and garlic and generously cover it with the lemon sauce. Garnish with fresh basil and a little extra salt and pepper.
    Serve warm and enjoy.
