📝 Preparation Steps
1
Boil water
2
Begin boiling a large pot of water for the pasta. While you're waiting for the water to boil, continue with the rest of the recipe.
3
Make sauce
4
In a large saucepan or skillet, saute bacon until cooked through, stirring occasionally. Remove bacon with a slotted spoon and place on a paper towel lined plate to drain. Pour off all but 1 tablespoon of fat in the pan. In the remaining fat, saute leeks until tender, about ⏱️ 5 minutes. Remove leeks from the pan. Add 2 tablespoons olive oil and garlic cloves. Cook, stirring frequently for a couple minutes until the garlic begins to soften. Add flour and stir to combine. Whisk in milk and stock and bring to a simmer, whisking occasionally. Once the mixture starts simmering, it will thicken slightly. Add 1/4 cup parmesan cheese. Keep the mixture warm over low heat, whisking occasionally, while you prepare the pasta.
