salt and pepper to taste
4 pieces of bacon, chopped
2 leeks, hlaved lengthwise, thinly sliced and washed

Preheat oven to 400. Place a large pot of water over high heat and bring to a boil to cook the pasta. Add salt and the pasta and cook just shy of al dente

While the pasta is cooking, heat a medium size skillet over medium heat and add bacon. Cook until crispy or about 5 min. Add leeks and cook until tender, about 2min. more. Add flour and stir cooking for 1 min. Whisk in stock, milk, salt and pepper and bring to a bubble. Stir in the cheese in a figure eight motion, reserving 1/2 cup for garnish.

Drain pasta and combine with the sauce. Spoon pasta into tomato shells and garnish with a sprinkle of the cheers. Place these onto a baking sheet and bake for 12-15 min. until golden brown on top.
