You need a saucepan that’s wide enough for the spaghetti to fit in. It doesn’t have to be massively high sided but just wide.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • 5 garlic cloves, minced
  • 3 spring onions, thinly sliced
  • 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

  1. 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.
  2. Serve the pasta with torn oozy burrata and crispy parma ham and more parmesan on the top.
