?1 tsp olive oil
?5 garlic cloves
?3 scallions (green onions), thinly sliced
?2 leeks, white and light green part only, trimmed and thinly sliced

? 1cup heavy cream
?1/2 tsp kosher salt, plus more for seasoning
?2 tbsp chopped chives
?1/4 freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, plus more for serving
Instructions
✔ In a pot set to medium, add sausage and cook stirring to break up into small bits until almost all pink is gone. Add garlic, scallions, leeks, and shallots, and cook for 4-6 minutes until vegetables soften.
✔ Add stock, cream, spaghetti, crushed red pepper, and 1/2 tsp of salt and bring to a boil. Partially cover, reduce heat to low and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes.
✔ Add asparagus and peas. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 4-5 minutes until added vegetables are tender yet crisp and pasta is tender.
✔ Remove from heat. Stir in chives and 1/4 cup of cheese. Season to taste.
✔ Serve with additional cheese on side.
