Directions
1. To start pasta mixture, bring water to a boil in stockpot

2. Meanwhile, slice bacon crosswise into thin strips. Place into skillet; cook over medium-high heat 8-10 minutes or until crisp. Remove bacon from skillet to paper towel-lines plate.

3. As bacon cooks, grate cheddar and Parmesan cheeses. Add pasta, cream cheese, grated cheese, salt and black pepper to boiling water in stockpot. Cover and simmer vigorously 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

4. As pasta mixture cooks, slice leek in half lengthwise then crosswise into 1/2-in slices. Place into small bowl and swish in cold water to remove dirt; lift leeks out of water and stir into pasta mixture. Cook, uncovered, 5-7 minutes or until pasta is cooked to desired tenderness and sauce is thickened, stirring occasionally.

5. Meanwhile, cut tomatoes in half lengthwise; remove cores and scrape out seeds. Dice tomatoes; reserve 1/4 cup for garnish. Remove stockpot from heat; stir in remaining tomatoes and half the bacon. Spoon pasta mixture into serving bowl and garnish with reserved tomatoes and bacon. Serve immediately.
