Directions
1
Prep and slice your leek, then mince your garlic.
2
Heat a little bit of oil in a pan and add your sausage, keeping the pieces a little larger to maximize surface area for browning.
3
Once the sausage is crispy, remove it from the pan and set aside.
4
In the same pan, add a little bit of butter and your leeks with a pinch of salt, and cook them down until soft and jammy.
5
Add as much garlic as you like with a little bit of red pepper flakes.
6
Deglaze the pan with a little white wine.
7
Pour in your chicken broth, bring it to a simmer, add in your pasta, stir, and then cover and simmer until al dente.
8
Once the pasta is tender, add in your cream, add the sausage back in, add in your Parmesan, and a little more cream if needed.
9
Finish with your peas, black pepper, and lemon juice.
10
Give that a stir.

0.5 tsp red pepper flakes
0.25 cup dry white wine

Tips
Keep sausage pieces larger initially to maximize surface area for browning, then break them up.
You might need to add a few splashes of broth or water if the pasta absorbs too much liquid.
Finish with peas, black pepper, and lemon juice for freshness.
