Cooking Steps

Prep
1
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high. Wash and dry all produce.
  • Roughly chop spinach.
  • Zest, then juice half the lemon. Cut remaining lemon into wedges.
  • Thinly slice leeks. Using a strainer, rinse leeks to wash away any hidden dirt. 
Make lemony shallots and toast breadcrumbs
2
  • Heat a large non-stick pan over medium. 
  • When hot, add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) butter. Swirl to melt, then add panko breadcrumbs. Cook for 2-3 min, stirring constantly, until golden. 
  • Remove from heat, then add shallots and lemon zest. Season with salt and pepper. Stir to combine, then transfer to a large bowl. 
  • Carefully wipe the pan clean. 
Cook leeks
3
  • Reheat the same pan over medium. When hot, add 2 tbsp (1/4 cup) butter, then leeks. Season with salt and pepper. Cook for 4-6 min, stirring often, until very tender.
Make sauce
4
  • Sprinkle Cream Sauce Spice Blend over leeks. Cook for 30 sec, until leeks are coated. 
  • Add cream, Boursin cheese and 1/3 cup (1/2 cup) water. Bring to a simmer. Cook for 2-3 min, stirring often, until Boursin melts and sauce thickens slightly. 
  • Remove from heat, then add spinach and stir for 1 min, until wilted. 
Cook linguine
5
  • Meanwhile, to the boiling water, add linguine. Cook for 2-4 min, stirring occasionally, until tender but still firm to the bite. 
  • Reserve 1/4 cup (1/2 cup) pasta water. Strain linguine.
  • Add linguine and 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) lemon juice to the pan with sauce. Season with pepper, then toss to combine. (TIP: If you prefer a lighter sauce, add some reserved pasta water, 1-2 tbsp at a time.)
Finish and serve
6
  • Divide leek-and-Boursin linguine between plates. 
  • Sprinkle lemony shallots and breadcrumbs over top.
