Place a medium, saucepan over a medium/high heat, add the olive oil leek, garlic, and a good pinch of salt. Cook this stirring for 4-5 minutes, stirring often.

Add half the 1/3 of the cottage cheese to the blender along with the vegetable stock, blending to a smooth sauce.

Bring a large pan of lightly salted water to the boil and add the pasta, cooking according to packet instructions.

6.

Add the snap peas to the pasta for the last minute of cooking then drain both, reserving ½ cup pasta water.

Add the pasta back to the pan with reserved veggies. Pour over the sauce and stir through to combine well, using a little pasta water if needed to thin out. Season to taste and serve, topped with remaining cottage cheese and a crack of black pepper.
