Garleek Pasta – when leek meets garlic

Leeks deserve more attention—and this Garleek Pasta is the perfect proof! Three leeks are sautéed in vegan butter with garlic and chili flakes until they turn jammy and caramelly. The secret to the sauce: light miso paste and tahini provide umami-rich creaminess, while lemon juice and zest add freshness. Agave and white wine vinegar round out the flavor profile. The noodles are combined directly in the pan with the sauce and a little pasta water to create a glossy, perfectly glazed whole. Optionally garnished with fresh cilantro, this makes a real comfort food. Proves: Sometimes the simplest ingredients are the tastiest! 🥬✨
