• Take a pasta pot with salted boiling water and cook pasta for around 6-7 minutes. Strain it and add some olive oil to avoid getting it dry.
• Put the pasta back in the pan, off the heat, and stir in the fresh basil pesto and coat the pasta generously with the sauce.
• To make crispy leeks, cut the stem of the leeks 2.5 to 3 cm thin and cut them in a thing julienne style. Dust them with some corn flour.
• Deep Fry them on a low heat until crispy, drain them on a paper towel and store in a airtight container.
• Toast the pinenuts with a pinch of sea salt on a nonstick pan and save for your garnish.
• Twirl the pasta onto a semi deep pasta bowl. Garnish with crispy leeks, toasted pine nuts, parmesan flakes and fresh basil leaves.

Always keep a little bit of the pasta water in the pasta, do not drain it completely, making the texture of the sauce a little creamy
