Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 9” x 13” baking dish.

3. Put the butter in a frying pan and gently fry the leeks for 10 minutes or until they’re soft. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute. Add the stock and then cook for 8 to 10 minutes, or until almost all the liquid has evaporated. Add the peas, stir and cook for 30 seconds.
4. To the drained pasta, add the leek mixture, chicken, milk and ricotta. Mix gently to combine and season with salt and pepper.
