A deliciously rich side dish ready in minutes. THIS CREAMED LEEK RECIPE IS: GLUTEN FREE AND FANTASTIC. If you've never tried them, you're in for a real treat. Whizzed until creamy in a blender, it is a happy marriage of silky leeks and earthy parsnips — think leek and potato soup, but with more depth of character.

Steps to make Creamy Green Leek & Pea Pasta:

1. Cut the stem off the head of broccoli. Cut away the fibrous outer layer of the stem. Chop the remaining stem into bite-sized pieces. The green tops of the broccoli can be cut into small bite-sized pieces.
2. To a large pot on high heat, add the olive oil, and when hot, add in the garlic, green onion, leek, jalapeño, broccoli stems, and salt. Note, the salt here helps to draw the water our of the veggies, which helps it all cook faster. Cook this for 5 minutes, or until the leeks become soft and translucent.
3. Then add the peas, spinach, basil, oregano, and mint, cooking for another 5 - 6 minutes.
4. Meanwhile, cook the pasta according to the package instructions, adding the broccoli florets in the last couple minutes. Just before draining it all, scoop out 120 ml cooking water from pasta and add to the veggie pan. Then drain the pasta and broccoli florets.
5. Add the cooking cream to the veggie pot, and stir to combine. You can leave this pasta sauce chunky as is, or make it smooth by blending it all up using an immersion blender or standing blender. We chose to blend about half of ours with an immersion blender, making it part-chunky and part-smooth.
6. Add the pasta and broccoli to the sauce, along with the lemon juice, and toss to coat.
7. Serve while hot, alongside some lemon wedges and garnished with fresh basil leaves.

A creamy pasta dish is total comfort food and this one couldn't be easier. Creamy Leek Pasta is a great way to make use of the, in my opinion, underused leek, and something a little bit different for pasta night.
