3. Tip the leeks into a large bowl. Add the remaining butter to the pan and cook the mushrooms and garlic for five minutes until golden.

4. Drain the pasta and return to the pan. Stir in the softened leeks, garlic mushrooms, mascarpone, chives and cheese. Toss together well, then divide between bowls and serve with a good grinding of black pepper.

Macaroni or rigati pasta would also work well in this recipe as the creamy sauce will generously fill the hollow tube shapes.
