2 leeks, white and light green parts only, trimmed and thinly sliced
1 medium shallot, chopped
1 anchovy fillet, drained
Pinch of red chilli flakes
450g spaghetti
875ml (3 3/4 cups) chicken stock
175ml (3/4 cup) heavy cream
1/2 teaspoon Maldon salt, plus more for seasoning
1/4 cup freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, plus more for serving
Burrata torn over to serve along with Parma ham slices which have been fried into a little oil until shatteringly crispy.
Instructions
In a pot, heat the olive oil. Add the garlic, spring onions, leeks, and shallot and cook over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until the leeks are softened, 6 minutes. Add the anchovy, chilli flakes, spaghetti, stock, cream, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and cook, stirring, until the pasta is tender and a sauce forms, 11 minutes. Stir in 1/4 cup of cheese; season with salt.
Serve the pasta with torn oozy burrata and crispy parma ham and more parmesan on the top.
