400g dried spaghetti
40g butter
150g bacon lardons
200g leeks finely chopped
400ml crème fraise
100g cooked peas

50g Parmesan for grating
Bring a medium pan of salted water to the boil, add the spaghetti and cook accordingly to the packet instructions
In the meantime, fry the bacon in a medium sized pan over a low heat until the fat releases from the bacon. Turn up the heat so that the bacon starts to colour, about 5 minutes. Then add the leeks and cook for a further 5 minutes
Add the crème fraise and cook until it starts to bubble and reduce slightly
By now your pasta should be cooked. Drain and set aside
Add the lemon juice and zest to your sauce
Season with salt and pepper and add the chopped parsley
Toss the pasta in the sauce, serve in bowls and sprinkle with Parmesan
