This homestyle pasta with leeks and potatoes, for example, took shape from what was in the fridge: a few simple ingredients (the kind we often have at home) put together with a pinch of imagination. There are soft leeks, golden pan-fried potatoes and a light sauce that coats the pasta without overwhelming it. I also used the green shoots of an onion. Instead of throwing them away, I thinly sliced them and added them raw to give freshness and colour. That's the beauty of home cooking: adapt, reuse, use what you have. The result is a simple, economical and tasty recipe, perfect for an everyday lunch, perhaps when you haven't been shopping but still want something good. Save it! It may come in handy more often than you think.
