Heat a large pan of boiling, salted water. Add pasta, bring to the boil and simmer for around 10 minutes or until just cooked. Before you drain the pasta, reserve 100ml of the starchy pasta water. Heat a good glug of oil in a large, non-stick frying pan. Add the leeks and fry for 1 minute, stirring regularly. Add the garlic for the final minute of frying. Stir in the garlic and herb soft cheese, creme fraiche, lemon juice, grated cheese, frozen peas and salmon. Gently heat through on the hob, adding a little bit of the starchy pasta water at a time. Stirring it through before adding more. Heat until the peas are cooked through and the cheese has melted. Season generously with salt and pepper. Stir in the drained pasta until thoroughly combined. Serve with a wedge of lemon, a little more black pepper and salad.
