Smoked Chicken &Artichoke Pasta - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    500 g dry pasta
    1 leek, white part only
    2 1/2 tablespoons oil
    2 cloves garlic, crushed
    600 g smoked chicken (I have used turkey or ham too)
    150 ml chicken stock
    4 whole artichokes, quartered (I use the ones canned in brine and rinse them)
    2 ripe tomatoes
    1/2 cup toasted pine nuts (, I cook them in a dry pan over a low heat shaking them until they're golden)
    salt and pepper
    1 dash Tabasco sauce
Preparation
    Cook the pasta following the directions, drain and keep warm.
    Wash the leek well and slice thinly.
    Heat the oil in a large pan, add the leek and garlic and cook over a medium heat stirring occasionally for about 10 minutes.
    Add the chicken, stock, artichokes and tomatoes and cook uncovered for about 5 minutes or until the chicken is heated through thoroughly.
    Stir in the pine nuts and season to taste.
    Toss through the pasta to combine and serve.
