🛵 Roman Weekend Glow

Nouvelle Vague’s feather‑light cover of Week‑end à Rome, carried by Vanessa Paradis’ airy, nostalgic voice, slips effortlessly into the atmosphere of this dish, while quietly echoing the charm of Etienne Daho’s 1984 original — giving Laurent Mariotte’s linguine a soft, cinematic shimmer, the kind of warm, wistful soundtrack that turns melted leeks, smoked paprika and cream‑slicked pasta into a quiet escape, a small Roman holiday unfolding right in the kitchen, where flavors linger like sunlight on old stone and the music hums with the promise of slow, stolen moments.

🍝✨ Linguine with Leeks & Smoked Paprika — Comfort Pasta by Laurent Mariotte

Recipe by @laurent_mariotte

A simple, fragrant and ultra‑comforting bowl of linguine, where soft buttery leeks meet creamy richness and the warm depth of smoked paprika.

This recipe from Laurent Mariotte turns a handful of everyday ingredients into a generous, characterful dish. The leeks become silky as they slowly melt in butter, while smoked paprika brings a warm, slightly woody note. The cream ties everything together into a velvety sauce that coats the linguine beautifully. A final shower of freshly grated Parmesan, and you’ve got pure comfort on a plate.

🛒 Ingredients

For the linguine 🍝

• 500 g linguine 🍝
• 2 leeks 🥬
• 25 cl heavy cream 🥛
• 1 knob of butter 🧈
• 3 tbsp smoked paprika 🌶️
• Freshly grated Parmesan 🧀
• Salt & pepper 🧂

👩‍🍳 Method

1. Prepare the leeks 🥬

Clean the leeks, remove the ends, and slice them finely.

2. Melt them gently 🧈

In a large pan, melt the butter and add the leeks. Cook for 10 to 15 minutes over low heat until soft and tender.

3. Cook the linguine 🍝

Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the linguine according to package instructions. Reserve one ladle of cooking water.

4. Create the sauce 🌶️🥛

Add the cream and smoked paprika to the leeks. Season with salt and pepper, mix well, and let simmer for 2 to 3 minutes.

5. Adjust the texture 💧

Pour in the reserved pasta water to loosen the sauce and help it cling to the linguine.

6. Toss and serve 🧀

Add the linguine to the pan and toss to coat them in the sauce. Serve immediately with freshly grated Parmesan.
