Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    We really liked this simple dish and thought it had a lot of flavor. (Perhaps because we only used 1/2 pound of pasta instead of 3/4, and we used whole wheat penne.) I had a non-stick skillet so didn't use the full amount of bacon fat-just enough to keep the pan slick. I added a drizzle of olive oil at the end too.

    This wasn't a standout dish for me, but it's worth turning to for an easy one-dish pasta meal made from ingredients I often have on hand. Plus, everyone in the family ate it! I think the kids would prefer it without the leeks, however, so maybe I'll set aside a leek-free portion for them next time. That just means more leeks for the adults, which I don't mind.

    Perfect for those weeknights when you don‘t feel like spending much time in the kitchen but still want something homecooked.Whole family enjoyed this pasta dish a lot. Used penne instead of rigatoni pasta and forgot to add the parsley in the end.
