- 1 tbsp english mustard

Step 1
Preheat the grill to medium, and bring a large pan of salted water to the boil and cook the pasta for 8 minutes, or until just tender.
Step 2
Meanwhile, heat 1 tbsp of oil and a knob of butter in a large frying pan, and cook the leeks over a low heat for 5 minutes until wilted and tender.
Step 3
Drain the pasta and add to the pan with the leeks. Stir in the ham hock, cream cheese, milk, mustard and about ¾ of the gruyère until well combined.
Step 4
Season with salt and pepper and spoon into a large ovenproof dish.
