Yield Makes 4 (first-course) servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 garlic cloves, chopped
1/2 teaspoon dried crushed red pepper
1/2 teaspoon fennel seeds
2 medium leeks (white and pale green parts only), split lengthwise, sliced crosswise
1 1/4 pounds plum tomatoes, diced
1/2 cup dry white wine
1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
12 ounces linguine
1 3/4 cups freshly grated Parmesan cheese, divided

Steps:

  • Heat oil in large skillet over medium-high heat. Add next 3 ingredients; sauté 1 minute. Add leeks; sauté until beginning to soften, about 4 minutes. Add diced tomatoes; stir 1 minute. Add wine and vinegar; bring to boil. Cover and cook until tomatoes break down, stirring often, about 5 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, cook pasta in large pot of boiling salted water until tender but still firm to bite. Drain, reserving 1 1/4 cups pasta cooking liquid.
  • Add pasta, 1/2 cup reserved pasta liquid, and 3/4 cup cheese to sauce in skillet. Toss over medium-high heat until sauce coats pasta, adding more liquid by 1/4 cupfuls if dry. Season with salt and pepper. Serve, passing 1 cup cheese separately.

This dish was not good. The leek and tomato sauce was watery and flavorless, and the linguine was overcooked. I would not recommend this recipe.

This dish was okay. The leek and tomato sauce was a bit bland for my taste, and the linguine was a bit undercooked. I'll probably try a different recipe next time.

This pasta dish was very good. The leek and tomato sauce was flavorful and creamy, but the linguine was a bit overcooked for my taste. I'll definitely be making this again, but I'll cook the linguine for a shorter amount of time next time.

This dish was a bit too spicy for my taste, but it was still very flavorful. The leek and tomato sauce was creamy and flavorful, and the linguine was cooked perfectly. I'll definitely be making this again, but I'll use less red pepper flakes next tim

I've never been a big fan of leeks, but this recipe changed my mind. The combination of the leeks, tomatoes, and spices was delicious. The sauce was creamy and flavorful, and the linguine was cooked al dente. I'll definitely be making this again.
