This vibrant linguine with spicy leek and tomato sauce is an excellent choice for a nutritious, high-protein weeknight meal. The sweetness of the softened leeks balances beautifully with the warmth of crushed red pepper and the aromatic crunch of fennel seeds. Using fresh plum tomatoes and a splash of crisp white wine creates a light yet deeply flavoured sauce that feels both sophisticated and comforting.
Ideal for those seeking a vegetarian-friendly protein boost, this dish relies on high-quality Parmesan and perfectly cooked pasta for its satisfying texture. The vinegar adds a subtle brightness that cuts through the richness of the olive oil. Serve this elegant pasta in warmed bowls with an extra grating of cheese for a simple but impressive dinner that the whole family will enjoy.

How to make Linguine with Spicy Leek and Tomato Sauce
Heat oil in large skillet over medium-high heat. Add next 3 ingredients; sauté 1 minute. Add leeks; sauté until beginning to soften, about 4 minutes. Add diced tomatoes; stir 1 minute. Add wine and vinegar; bring to boil. Cover and cook until tomatoes break down, stirring often, about 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, cook pasta in large pot of boiling salted water until tender but still firm to bite. Drain, reserving 300ml pasta cooking liquid.
Add pasta, 120ml reserved pasta liquid, and 180ml cheese to sauce in skillet. Toss over medium-high heat until sauce coats pasta, adding more liquid by 60ml fuls if dry. Season with salt and pepper. Serve, passing 120g cheese separately.
