Method

1. Bring a pan of water to the boil for the pasta and salt it once it boils.
2. Meanwhile trim the root and the toughest green part off the leek, slice it into thin rounds and wash them in a bowl of water to remove grit; drain.
3. Heat the olive oil in a frying pan over low heat, add the leek with a splash of water and a pinch of salt and sweat it covered for 10 minutes, until soft and sweet.
4. Meanwhile add the wholemeal pasta to the water and cook for the time on the packet, usually 10–12 minutes, until al dente; remove any bones from the cod and cut it into roughly 2 cm cubes.
5. Add the cod and thyme to the leek, season lightly with salt and cook for 4 minutes over medium heat, stirring gently, until the fish is white and flakes.
6. Drain the pasta, keeping a small ladle of the cooking water, and toss it with the sauce for a minute, loosening if needed; finish with grated lemon zest and black pepper.
