Leek and blue cheese sauce

Recipe yields 4 portions

Ingredients

• 3 large leeks, washed and trimmed
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 50 grams fresh breadcrumbs
• 300 milliliters cream
• 180 grams blue cheese
• 100 grams parmesan cheese, grated
• black pepper, freshly ground

Directions

Cook the leeks whole in boiling water until just tender. Drain, wrap in a tea towel and press with a weight for 10 minutes.

Preheat oven to 160C. Heat oil in a pan and fry breadcrumbs until golden brown, turning constantly. Drain, season, and keep warm in the oven.

Cut leeks into 1cm thick slices. Bring cream to a simmer and add blue cheese. When the cheese has melted, add leeks and gnocchi or pasta. Stir in parmesan and black pepper. Garnish with fried breadcrumbs.
