  • 1 bunch leeks, quartered lengthwise and cut into 2-inch pieces
  • 1/2 (16 ounce) box penne pasta
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded Emmentaler cheese
  • 1 pinch salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste


  1. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add penne and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 11 minutes. Drain.
  2. Bring a second large pot of lightly salted water to a boil and cook leek for 2 minutes while penne is cooking. Drain well.
  3. Preheat oven to 475 degrees F (245 degrees C). Grease a baking dish with some butter.
