Bacon, Leek & Pine Nut Pasta – a fabulous quick and easy midweek meal. Rustle this up in minutes after a hard day at work!

Today I’m sharing Bacon, Leek & Pine Nut Pasta!

The other day I’d taken some bacon out of the freezer for the evening meal thinking I’d do a pasta dish. That evening I realised that I also had a packet of leeks begging to be used so I rummaged through my cupboards looking for some inspiration.

There I found some pine nuts that also needed using up and so this dish evolved! These three simple ingredients marry off really well with the extra virgin olive oil, pasta and Parmesan cheese.

My family loved this dish so I will certainly be making this again and it’s so good for when you’re in a hurry!
