Ingredients

Directions

Preheat the oven to 475 degrees F (245 degrees C). Grease a baking dish.

Bring two pots of lightly salted water to a boil. Add penne to one pot and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 11 minutes. Add leeks to the second pot and cook for 2 minutes. Drain leeks well.

Meanwhile, heat cream and butter in a saucepan over low heat until hot. Whisk in Emmentaler cheese until melted. Season with salt and pepper.

Drain penne. Place penne and leeks into the prepared baking dish. Pour cheese sauce over top.

Bake in the preheated oven until lightly browned, about 10 minutes.
