Method

  1. Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Simmer the sliced leeks with the stock in a covered pan for 5 mins until tender. Drain the leeks, reserving the stock, then mix them with the ham and some seasoning. Divide the mixture into 8, spoon along the middle of each lasagne sheet, roll up, then tuck into an ovenproof dish, joined sides down.
  2. Mix 300ml of the reserved stock with the crème fraîche, mustard and most of the grated cheese. Season, then pour over the cannelloni. Sprinkle with the breadcrumbs and remaining cheese, then bake for 20 mins until the top is golden and crisp, and the leek filling is piping hot. Great with a green salad.
Try

Ham, leek & cheese pasta

Cook 400g pasta shapes according to pack instructions, then make a simple sauce by bubbling the softened leeks with the ham, crème fraîche, mustard and cheese in a pan with half the reserved stock for a few mins. Stir through the pasta to serve.

    Thoroughly enjoyed this one. I used sour cream and cut way back on the stock as I didn't want it that thin of a sauce. Used a mix of cheeses, what ever I had on hand. Would definately make this one again.

    Made this tonight and really enjoyed it. I stuffed smaller pasta tubes that needed using and had enough mixture left to make a lasagne with it too. I used less water/stock than it said and it wasn't runny at all.

    Really easy and tasty. I used only 2 leeks and added mushrooms and fried them rather than boiling them. I also used dried cannelloni tubes. I was tempted not to use the full 300ml stock in with the Creme Fraiche as it looked like too much liquid but was glad I did as it was perfect (probably would have been too dry without). I also made the dish ahead and baked later.

    This was tasty. Good value and easy to make. Next time I would add a bit more liquid because the pasta on the top went a bit hard as it wasn't covered.

    Here is a good tip for this recipe, just replace the ham by some jamon iberico de bellota, in case you do not know it this is probably the best ham in the world, it is extremely tasty and healthy (no cholesterol), it comes from a particular breed of swine only found in Spain and Portugal. While it is a bit pricey, the results on the recipe are just amazing. If you want to keep it low budget, buy some Serrano ham which is also great. I always buy my iberico ham online at Buyjamon.com as it is fresh and delivered to your door. <a href="http://BuyJamon.com/"> BuyJamon.com the market place for iberico ham.</a>

    Made it as a lasagne and added some garlic and a little sweet chillis sauce to the leek mixture, as well as some mushrooms. Great flavour but took ages to cook as the sauce was too thin - next time I'd do it without as much stock.

    I made the pasta version of this dish and added a few chopped mushrooms with the leeks. I also sprinkled cheese and breadcrumbs over the top and cooked it in the over for 15 minutes until golden. It was quick, easy and extremely tasty, will definitely be making this dish again.

    I made this with extra chicken and mushrooms as well as ham and leek, added extra pepper and fennel seeds and some garlic soft cheese to the mix in the tubes. Also used dry cannelloni tubes rather than fresh. I thickened the sauce as others suggested but wished I hadn't has when using the dried tubes it soaked up all the sauce, but otherwise it was excellent. Will make again with minor adjustments. Served with green beans and crusty bread.

    Didn't enjoy this meal at all, the sauce was very sickly and the lasagna sheets were do thick and chewy, won't be making again.

    Very easy to make and a good basis for other variations. The mustard and the breadcrumbs were a good addition - maybe I'll sorte the leeks in butter next time.
