Kitchen utensils
Preparation steps
Cook penne according to package directions in plenty of boiling salted water until al dente.
Meanwhile, trim leek, cut in half lengthwise, rinse and cut into approximately 1/2-inch thick slices.
Heat oil in a large non-stick pan and fry the leek briefly. Season with salt, cover and cook over medium heat for about 3 minutes.
Peel mango and cut into thin slices off the pit. If desired, cut into smaller pieces.
Add mango pieces and 5 tablespoons of water to the leek, cover and cook over medium heat for about 2 minutes.
Rinse basil, shake dry, pluck the leaves, set aside some for garnish and cut the rest into strips.
Break feta cheese into small pieces with a fork. Drain penne in a sieve.
Toss basil with mango-leek mixture and season with salt, pepper and 1 pinch of sugar to taste. Mix in penne. Distribute mango and leek pasta on a platter, sprinkle with cheese and garnish with remaining basil leaves.
