2. Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the leeks and season with ½ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon pepper.

3. Cook the leeks, stirring occasionally, until tender (but not brown), 8 to 10 minutes.

4. Add the cream and cook until slightly thickened, 3 to 4 minutes.

Save some of the water that your pasta has been cooked in. Add a bit to the pasta if it seems dry after it’s been tossed with sauce.
