Method
- Cook the pasta in a pan of boiling water containing the vegetable stock cube, adding the frozen peas for the last 3 minutes of cooking.
- Drain and pour boiling water from the kettle over the pasta to rinse away the starch. Return the pasta to the pan.
- Heat a non-stick wok or large frying pan, add the leeks and garlic and dry-fry for 1-2 minutes. Add the smoked ham and soft cheese and cook for a further minute.
- Add the cooked pasta and toss all the ingredients together. Season with black pepper and a little salt if required.
- Once the pasta is heated through, transfer to a warmed serving dish, sprinkle with a few Parmesan shavings and serve immediately.
