Salmon and Leek Penne Bake

  • 350g penne pasta
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 250g sliced leeks
  • 2 crushed garlic cloves
  • 100g soft cream cheese
  • 100ml milk
  • 250g peas
  • 400g tinned salmon, drained and flaked into chunks
  • 10g chopped parsley
  • 100g grated cheddar
  • Preheat the oven to 200C and boil the penne until al dente. Meanwhile, fry the leeks in the oil for 10 mins to soften, then stir in the garlic and fry for a minute more. Reduce the heat, stir in the cream cheese and milk, then season liberally and fold in the peas, salmon and parsley. Cook for 2 mins.
  • Transfer the mixture to a baking dish and stir through the pasta. Scatter with cheese and bake for 15 mins, or until golden and bubbling. Scatter with more parsley and serve with a green salad.
