Pasta + Leeks/Runner Beans?

[NotQuiteCockney]

I think pasta is easiest for tea. I would like to use up at least two of:

• Leeks
• Runner Beans
• 1/2 pack of mascarpone

I wouldn't mind using up:

• cubetti di pancetta

I have:

• onions
• lemons
• tomato passata
• tinned chopped tomato
• sundried tomato paste
• probably lots of other relevant stuff

Any suggestions? I'm rubbish with both leeks and runner beans, so somewhat stuck.

Bump?

i would keep it simple with a pancetta/pasta/lemon/chilli type thing. ummm but that doesn't really solve your runner bean issue, does it?

I'm tending towards Leeks/pancetta/lemon/mascarpone. I think. That would work, wouldn't it?

We need a recipe search engine where you can enter in all the ingredients you have in your cupboard and it churns out heaps of scrummy recipes.
Ready Steady Google??

ooh that sounds yummy

I have serious runner bean issues. I will have to work something out with them at some point. Maybe I'll start a runner bean thread.

(The thing is, I had a real Exorcist-type-vomiting event, about 6 years ago, after having had raw runner beans. I'm 99% sure they weren't the real cause, but they're associated with really scary vomiting, in my head. It was really horrid, I had to have a shot to make me stop vomiting.)

you could make spaghetti with leeks, pancetta and chilli (I think it's a recipe from Rome), it's delicious. You need a good bit of butter to cook the leeks (chopped finely), then add the pancetta and finally some chilli, and add to spaghetti.
With runner beans I'd do a pasta salad with tuna and a nice french dressing with lemon.
For your mascarpone, am still thinking.... I think I do a tomato and mascarpone tart that's yummy, but haven't got recipe book handy. You also need rocket and eggs I think (plus puff pastry)

i stir-fried some the other day (from our garden) in with some rice/egg/mushrooms and katchup manis. mmmmm
