Linguine with Leeks and Boursin
and Lemony Shallots and Breadcrumbs
Leeks transform in this delish linguine dish! They all but melt into the silky and creamy Boursin-based sauce. A topping of toasted panko breadcrumbs and lemony shallots take this pasta over the top.

Cooking Steps
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.)
- Divide leek-and-Boursin linguine between plates.
- Sprinkle lemony shallots and breadcrumbs over top.
