- 1 tbsp butter
- 1 large leek, thinly sliced (white + light green parts only, well rinsed)
- Salt
- freshly cracked black pepper

- 1 1–2 tbsp chopped fresh chives (or parsley), for garnish

## Instructions

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.

## Tips
