Ingredients
300g penne pasta
25g butter
2 medium-sized leeks, halved lengthways and thinly sliced
250g pack smoked streaky bacon rashers
6 tbsp reduced-fat crème fraîche
100g Asda White Caerphilly Cheese, crumbled, plus extra, to serve
Method

Cook the pasta in a large pan of boiling water for about 11 minutes or until tender.
2
Meanwhile, melt the butter in another pan, add the sliced leeks and stir to coat. Cover and cook over a medium heat until tender.

Grill the streaky bacon rashers until well cooked and crisp. Drain on kitchen paper and then break into small pieces.

Mix in the crumbled Caerphilly, season with lots of black pepper and serve with a dish of extra crumbled cheese for sprinkling.
