Pretty much it actually, you just cook the pasta, while its cooking, chop up the leek, garlic clove. Sweat them off in the deep pan still soft. I used store bought cooked seafood (prawns, mussels, squid). Add it to the leeks and garlic, warm it up... add cream. In some crazy skinny madness I got single cream and it did not work that well, but still did the trick in binding all of this loveliness together. Toss pasta into the pan. Do not put any cheese in, do not be mad! Seafood and cheese do not mix... do not know why, but it is just bad taste! I did put lots of freshly grated black pepper on.

Peeled and chopped a medium size potato and kept on stirring these guys in the pot, then added the green things:) Add the stock in. I simply used the chicken stock cube, simmer all these veggies till tatoes are soft. To make it extra nice I have blended it in our blender... oh it was not a margarita but still delicious!  I did not add any cream, butter or Stilton...it would have been nice, I am staying good... more or less:)  However hubby did bring some nice artisan bread with s...
