Baked Penne with Leeks

Pin It
One of my new year's resolutions is to go through the many magazines that I've collected over the last couple of years.  My collection includes - Food Network, Cooking Light, Sandra Lee (now defunct), Taste of Home, Bon Appetit, Better Home and Gardens and a few other strays (I had over 200!).  Yikes, I was running out of storage room.  So....every day since last Sunday I've been sitting down with a stack, my trusty exacto knife and cutting out the ones I would like to try.  The above is one of those.... I love mac-n-cheese recipes!  I keep trying to find "the one!"  Leeks sounded good too - in the last couple of years I've just started cooking with them and have to say they add a nice flavor to many dishes....

Recipe Source:  Bon Appetit March 2009
(printable recipe)

On New Year's Eve, we decided to stay put and fire up the grill with some tasty burgers (it was 6 degrees but that didn't stop us!)  The original recipe called for it to be made in a large baking dish but I used 4 ramakiens - a perfect side dish.  We both really enjoyed it!



I would love to know if you have a favorite mac-n-cheese recipe to share...

  1. OH MY, Deb ... I can't wait to "try" this one. I LOVE Leeks. I have an awesome recipe for Ham & Leek Shepherd's Pie too. I dehydrated leeks this Fall from my veggie garden, as they are so expensive to buy here in the Winter, or anytime as far as I am concerned. Oh I have tons of "to try".

  2. Mmm, I love leeks! I added them to my last batch of chicken noodle soup, a definite keeper ingredient now! I never would have thought of them in a mac&cheese, but it looks delicious! I happen to have a favorite... if you're interested :)
