250g packet of De Cecco spinach Tagliatelle
½ cup extra virgin olive oil

2. Heat some olive oil in a large pan and toss in the sliced pancetta.
3. Fry the pancetta for 3 minutes then add the leek and garlic clove.
4. Fry on a gentle heat until the leek softens then pour the white wine — simmer for 4 minutes.
5. Boil the Tagliatelle in plenty of salted water until Al dente. Drain whilst reserving a little of the cooking water and season with salt and white pepper.
