Method
Step 1
Peel the potatoes and cut them in large cubes. Thinly slice the leek in strips and rinse it under cold running water, ensuring to eliminate any dirt present. Over low heat, gently stew the leeks in butter and, when translucent, add the potatoes.
Step 2
Add the stock, season with salt and cook until the potatoes are very soft and falling apart. Add the cream, blend until very smooth and reserve.
Step 3
Pick the rosemary, peel the lemon and place on a chopping board; add the clove of garlic and chop until very fine. Place in a small pan with the evoo and, over very low heat, bring to a simmer. As soon as the first bubbles appear, place on the side and allow to cool. Meanwhile cook the wheels al dente.
Step 4
Toss in a pan with the leek and potato cream, adding a little pasta cooking water if needed. Plate and top with drops of aromatic oil and some of harissa to taste.
