Ingredients

150 g	leeks
2 tbsp	unsalted butter
2 medium	eggs
8 tbsp	Parmesan cheese, freshly grated
2 tbsp	light cream
	salt and fresh ground pepper to taste
250 g	dried angel hair pasta (or 175 g fresh)

Instructions

Clean the leeks under cold water. Slit the leeks lengthwise three-fourths of the way down to the root ends. Cut the white portions and tender green tops crosswise into very thin slices.

In a wide frying pan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the leeks and sauté, stirring, until tender, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat, cover and keep warm.

In a bowl, beat together the eggs, 2 tablespoons of Parmesan cheese, the cream, and salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.

In a large pot, bring 3 litre salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook until almost al dente. Drain the pasta, add it to the frying pan holding the leeks and raise the heat to high. Pour in the egg mixture and stir vigorously until the eggs are firm but not dry, 1-2 minutes.

Transfer to a warmed serving dish and serve immediately. Pass the remaining 6 tablespoons Parmesan cheese at the table.
