Method

  1. Preheat the oven to gas 6, 200°C, fan 180°C. Bring a large pan of boiling salted water to the boil and cook the penne for 2 mins less than the pack instructions; drain well.

  2. Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large frying pan over a medium-high heat. Add the leeks and cook for 8-10 mins until softened. Add the garlic and fry for 1 min. Reduce the heat to low and stir in the soft cheese, followed by the milk. Season well, then fold in the peas, salmon and most of the parsley. Cook for 2 mins until the peas have defrosted.

  3. Transfer to a deep 25 x 35cm baking dish and stir through the penne. Scatter over the cheese and bake for 15 20 mins until golden and bubbling. Scatter with the remaining parsley to serve.
