Cooking Steps
- Boil plenty of salted water in a pot or saucepan for the pasta (see Tip). Slice the leek into thin rings.
- Chop the onion and crush or mince the garlic.
Tip: keep the pasta in the fridge until actually cooking it, so as to prevent it from sticking together.
- Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a deep frying pan over high heat. Fry the garlic, onion and leek for 4 - 5 minutes, stirring regularly.
- Meanwhile, boil the pasta for 4 - 6 minutes, covered, then drain and set aside. Stir the cream into the vegetables.
- Crumble in the stock cube (see pantry for amount). Cover with the lid and allow to stew for 5 - 7 minutes.
- During the last 2 minutes of cooking time, add the spinach and then cover again.
- Meanwhile, melt a knob of butter in a frying pan over medium-high heat and fry the cod for 1 - 2 minutes per side, seasoning to taste with salt and pepper.
- Stir half of the cheese into the sauce and allow to cook for 2 - 3 more minutes.
- Quarter the lemon and squeeze one quarter per person directly into the sauce.
- Season generously with salt and pepper.
- Finely chop the fresh herbs.
- Serve the pasta and the creamy sauce on plates.
- Top with the cod and garnish with the fresh herbs and the rest of the cheese.
- Serve with the rest of the lemon wedges.
