180g bag baby spinach

50g sultanas

1
Add the spaghetti to a large pan of boiling water. Bring back to the boil and simmer fast for 10-12 minutes or until just tender.

Add the leeks and butter to the pan and cook over a medium heat, stirring often, for about 8 minutes or until the leeks are soft.
4
Add the spinach and sultanas and stir until the spinach wilts. Season.

Divide the pasta between 4 bowls. Serve sprinkled with the cheese and seasoned with black pepper.
