Ingredients:
2 leeks - thinly sliced
2 garlic cloves - finely chopped
1 cup cherry tomatoes
Dried pasta seasoning
Salt
Black pepper ground
Olive oil
1/2 tbsp butter
1/4 tbsp flour
1/2 cup vegetable stock or water
1/4 cup Parmesan cheese - grated
1 cup uncooked pasta(serves two)

Method:
1. Start cooking the pasta for two servings on one stove.
2. On another stove, heat some olive oil, half butter, garlic, salt, pepper and pasta seasoning.
3. Once the oil is heated, put in the leeks and cook for 2-3 minutes.
4. Add tomatoes and cook for another 4 minutes.
5. Make a small hole in the pan by setting the vegetable mixture aside and put remaining butter. Put the flour and cook it to form a paste.
6. Now mix the paste with the vegetables and stir in the stock(or water). Let it bubble for a minute.
