Ingredients

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F, gas 4).
2. Trim, halve and wash the leek, peel the garlic, then finely slice them along with the broccoli stalks. Set the florets aside.
3. Put the sliced vegetables in a large casserole over medium heat with the butter. Strip in the thyme leaves and cook for 15 minutes, stirring regularly, until softened.
4. Stir in the flour, then slowly add the milk. Simmer for 10 minutes, stirring regularly, until thickened.
5. Meanwhile, cook the macaroni in a large pan of boiling salted water for 5 minutes, then drain.
6. Grate the Parmesan and most of the Cheddar into the sauce and mix well. Transfer to a blender, add the spinach and blend until smooth, in batches if needed.
7. Season with sea salt and black pepper, then stir in the pasta and broccoli florets, adding a splash of milk if it is too thick.
8. Transfer to a 25cm x 35cm baking dish, grate over the remaining Cheddar, scatter over the almonds and bake for 30 minutes, until golden and bubbling.
