Method
- Gather and prep everything first: dried pasta, olive oil, garlic and set within reach of the stove.
- Warm a splash of olive oil in a heavy pan over medium heat, then add the leeks and cook until soft and fragrant, about 4 to 5 minutes.
- Add the garlic shrimp and let it caramelized, undisturbed, so it takes on real color before you stir.
- Stir in the dried pasta along with a good pinch of salt, scraping up anything stuck to the bottom of the pan.
- Taste and adjust, then finish with a grating of hard cheese right before serving.
- Plate it up while hot and pass extra at the table.
