4. Drain the pasta and return to the pan. Stir in the softened leeks, garlic mushrooms, mascarpone, chives and cheese. Toss together well, then divide between bowls and serve with a good grinding of black pepper.
Macaroni or rigati pasta would also work well in this recipe as the creamy sauce will generously fill the hollow tube shapes.
