Ingredients
150g / 6oz Trufree Pasta Penne
1 x 15ml tbsp light and mild olive oil
1 medium size leek, trimmed, halved top to bottom and cut into fine slivers
110g / 4oz small chestnut mustrooms, halved
1 clove garlic, crushed
2 x 15ml tbsp cranberry jelly
1 x 15ml tbsp fresh roughly chopped flat leaf parsley
70g / 1 individual round goats cheese, halved horizontally
1 x 5ml tsp pine nuts

Method
1. Cook the Trufree Pasta following on-pack instructions whilst preparing the vegetables. Rinse and drain.
2. Lightly fry the leeks, mushrooms and garlic into the olive oil for 8 - 10 minutes to soften. Stir in the cranberry jelly and parsley.
3. Combine with the pasta and divide between 2 individual size ovenproof dishes. Top with the rounds of goats cheese and sprinkle with the pine nuts. Cook in a hot oven for between 8 - 10 minutes until the goats cheese just starts to brown and begins to melt and ooze.

This is delicious served with spiced red cabbage or for a simple accompaniment, a big bunch of peppery watercress.
