350g penne pasta
4 rashers Asda Back Bacon
200g pot Asda 50% Less Fat Soft Cheese

Method
1
Halve the leeks lengthways and rinse under cold water. Pat dry with kitchen paper then slice thinly.

Heat the oil in a large frying pan; add the leeks and stir to coat in oil. Cover and cook over a low heat for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
3
Add the mushrooms and garlic. Cook uncovered for 10-12 minutes stirring until the mushrooms are cooked and the liquid has evaporated.

Meanwhile, add the pasta to a pan of boiling water. Bring back to the boil, stir once and then boil gently uncovered for 10-12 minutes. Drain.
5
Grill the bacon until the fat is crisp, and then chop roughly.
6
Stir in the soft cheese into the vegetables. Add Tabasco (optional). Heat through, stirring gently. Add the pasta, toss to mix and sprinkle with the bacon. Serve with garlic bread.
