SPIRALS WITH BROAD BEAN SAUCE

Preparation Method :

• Add pasta to a large pan of rapidly boiling water and cook until just tender. Drain and return to pan.

• Remove immediately and cool in cold water. Drain and allow to cool. Peel rough outside skin from beans.
• Remove and discard rind from bacon. Chop bacon into small pieces.
• Remove and discard outer leaves and dark green section of leeks.
• Wash leeks thoroughly to remove all dirt and grit. Using a sharp knife, slice leeks finely.
• Heat oil in a heavy-based frying pan. Add leek and bacon and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, for 8 minutes or until leek is golden.
• Add cream and lemon rind; cook for 2 minutes. Add prepared broad beans, salt and pepper.
