Pasta Preparation

Cook the Bucatini
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the bucatini pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente, usually about 8-10 minutes. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water and drain the rest.

Prepare the Seafood
While the pasta is cooking, in a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the leeks, and cook until they are soft and translucent, about 4-5 minutes. Add the tomatoes and cook for another 5 minutes until they start to break down.
