Method

Step 1

Cook the pasta according to the packet instructions (wholemeal takes a couple of minutes longer than white pasta, so needs to be added to the pan first.)

Step 2

Meanwhile, add a dash of olive oil to a large saucepan, add the onion and leeks and cook until soft but not browned. Add the ham and half the parsley.
