Cook the leeks in a frying pan in a little butter until softened set aside. In a separate saucepan, heat the butter until melted, then whisk in the flour until smooth and cook for about 2 mins, or until pale golden brown. Whisk in the milk a little at a time, waiting until the mixture has thickened after each addition before adding any more and whisking continually. After all the milk has been added to the mixture you should have a smooth sauce. Add all the cheeses to the sauce and heat gently until it has all melted. Season to taste with salt and fresh black pepper, mustard powder and nutmeg. Drain the cooked pasta and tip back into the pan and tip the sauce mixture in with the pasta. Add the leeks and ham and stir into the pasta to combine. Transfer to a large oven proof dish and top with the chopped mozzarella, breadcrumbs and the Parmesan. Place under a hot grill until the topping is golden brown and bubbling<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<hr noshade=\"noshade\" size=\"5\" \/>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #008000;\"><em><span style=\"font-size: 18pt; font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\"><strong>Spiced Turkey Noodles<\/strong><\/span><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 80px;\">250g medium egg noodles<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 80px;\">1 tbsp soy sauce<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 80px;\">2 limes juiced<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 80px;\">2 tsp brown sugar<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 80px;\">2 tbsp vegetable oil<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 80px;\">2 garlic cloves thinly sliced<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 80px;\">1 red chilli thinly sliced<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 80px;\">500g cooked turkey, sliced<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 80px;\">2 spring onions, thinly sliced on a diagonal<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 80px;\">100g beansprouts<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 80px;\">30g salted peanuts [or any other nuts you have left over]<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 80px;\">chopped coriander and lime wedges to serve<\/p>\n<p>Cook the noodles according to pack instructions, then rinse in cold water, set aside.
