THREE-CHEESE MACARONI WITH LEEKS
I had some leeks to use up from Easter so decided to try this recipe. So glad I did - it's a more upscale version of an old favourite and the whole family loved it. I made it with whole wheat macaroni to boost its nutritional value but use whatever you like.

- Heat a wide oven proof saucepan or cast iron casserole dish over a high heat and add the lardons (or diced bacon). Cook for 2 minutes, stirring frequently, until starting to brown.
- Turn down the heat and add the butter. When the butter is melted add the leeks and fry with the lid on for about 3 minutes, until the leeks are nicely softened.
