Ingredients

The pasta

  • 12 ounces bucatini
  • 4 ½ cups water

The vegetables

  • 1 to 1 ½ pounds leeks
  • 4 cloves garlic
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped parsley
  • Zest of one lemon

The seasonings

  • ¼ to ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • kosher salt
  • freshly cracked black pepper

For serving

  • Parmigiano Reggiano (optional)

Instructions

  1. Trim and slice the leeks into long, thin strips, soaking them in water if necessary to remove dirt.
  2. Combine leeks, bucatini, garlic, red pepper flakes, olive oil, salt, pepper, and water in a large skillet.
  3. Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat, then reduce to a simmer, stirring frequently until the pasta is al dente and most of the water has evaporated (about 9 minutes).
  4. Add lemon zest and parsley, tossing to coat.
  5. Season with additional salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes to taste, and serve with Parmesan if desired.
