Heat the butter in a large pan over high heat. Stir in the garlic, onion and leek and cook for 1-2 minutes. Add the escargot, the Pernod and the white wine and cook, stirring for 2-3 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper and serve in escargot dishes. Sprinkle generously with chopped parsley and top with the asiago cheese. Place under the broiler for 1-2 minutes or until bubbly, if desired.

Cooking tip: If you don't have the special escargot dishes, you can serve it in mushroom cups, cooked in the butter for the snails.
