Adapted from Martha Stewart's genius one-pan pasta, this one relies on lots of leeks and garlic. Just before serving, lemon zest and parsley brighten it all up. Bucatini: Two of my favorite food snobs recently gave me the same box of Barilla bucatini Collezione line (photo above) — it's very good. I mention this brand because I was reading the comments for the original one-pan pasta recipe over on Martha Stewart and saw that the results were mixed — some people found the water too starchy and the noodles to be overcooked. This has not been my experience, and I wonder if the type of noodle makes a difference. If you have a Parmesan rind, you can add that to the pot at the start.
