  2. In a medium saucepan, bring the water to a boil, then add the rice.Reduce the heat to low, and simmer, covered, for 18-20 minutes, or until the rice absorbed water  and the rice is tender.

  4. When the rice is finished cooking, stir in the leeks, Parmesan cheese, parsley, salt, and pepper. Set aside.

  6. Pour the rice mixture into the pastry-lined dish. Roll out the second sheet of puff pastry into a 12-inch square and place it on top of the filling. Press the edges of the top and bottom pastry together to seal.
