Creamy Semi-dried Toamto Sauce:
Serves 4:
Ingredients:
1 tablespoon EVOO
1 leek, halved, washed and sliced
1 garlic clove, crushed
½ cup semi-dried tomatoes, chopped
½ cup white wine
300ml light cooking cream
50g spinach
1/4 cup finely grated parmesan
Enough pasta to serve 4. I used 200g


Preparation:
Grate the parmesan in the TMX and set aside.
Cook pasta according to the EDC.
While the pasta was cooking I did the rest in a frying pan.
 Heat oil, add leek and garlic. Cook stirring for 3-4 minutes.
 Add tomato and wine. Cook for about 3 minutes until wine has almost evaporated.
 Add cream, cook, stirring for 3-4 minutes until heated through. (don't boil)
 Add spinach and cheese, cook for another 1-2 minutes.
Season.
Serve over pasta or gnocchi

Tips/Hints:
I didn't have any cream so used the Philly cooking cream and it was lovely.

This sound really tasty Cookie1but I will have to save making it for a time DS1(17) isn't home- it's got some toxic green stuff (spinach) in it. ;) ;)

Aye, VHJ, young people have got to watch those toxic foods (one day he'll turn around and shock you by saying he has now decided he likes it after all!!!)

My kids absolutely love spinach, and can't get enough of it. I wonder if I sang too much "I'm Popeye the Sailor Man" when they were little?
