Pasta with Turkey, Leeks and Peas

Cooking time: 30 minutes for menu          Cooking schedule: see below for "menu" instructions

    I decided on a simple pasta dinner for this busy time of year. Besides.... Pasta is always good.

Pasta with Turkey, Peas and Leeks

Total time: 30 minutes 
   Frozen peas are another under-used vegetable.  They are hard to find fresh and, for peas, frozen is better, anyway.  The leeks add a mild onion flavor to the pasta and a sprinkle of shredded cheese finishes it.
