Recipe: Pasta with alouette cheese

My mom loves to dip her crackers in alouette cheese. I have to admit, the garlic and herb cheese spread is quite addictive. There is a recipe on the box suggesting using the cheese with pasta. I jazzed it up a bit, added some more ingredients, and couldn't stop eating this! It's very simple:

I cut up 3 leeks, drizzled them with a lot of olive oil, and put in the oven at 350 degrees, until they started to brown and carmelize (about 25 minutes).

I cooked about 3/4th of a bag of pasta. The last 5 minutes of cooking, I threw in 2 cups of chopped broccoli, squash, and zucchini.

When the leeks were done, I mixed it with a full tub of alouette cheese, then added this to the pasta and veggies. I also chopped up some garden tomatoes and threw them into the mix. Delicious!

I wanted to do a before and after photo, but unfortunately all I have is an after photo:

Mixing alouette with pasta -- a felony in California. My next trip out, I am firebombing your kitchen.
