Rachel Roddy's recipe for pasta with leeks, mushrooms, thyme and soft cheese | A kitchen in Rome

Leeks are hard to come by in Rome, so when I do find some on a shelf or stall, there is even more reason to think: Lovely leek.Which is how Simon Hopkinson describes them in his book The Vegetarian Option, and an alliteration so neat and right that it stuck and now flashes up every time I see one.And, because thoughts are like dominoes, lovely leeks could well remind me of the lovely Linda mug I shared a desk with for a week or so, many years ago; and of its owner, too, who was also lovely, with smooth hands (and a pot of hand cream on her desk) and a sister who was an optician in Barnes.
