Trim, cut in half, and wash the leek, and peel the garlic, then finely chop along with the broccoli stems, leaving the small florets for later.
Step 3
Place the chopped vegetables in a large skillet over medium heat with the butter, sprinkle with thyme leaves, and cook for 15 minutes or until softened, stirring regularly.
Step 4
Add the flour, then slowly pour in the milk, simmer for 10 minutes or until thickened, stirring regularly.

Meanwhile, cook the pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water for 5 minutes, then drain.
Step 6
Grate the parmesan and most of the cheddar cheese and add to the sauce, mixing well. Transfer to a blender, add the spinach, and blend until smooth.

Season to taste with sea salt and black pepper, then mix with the pasta and broccoli florets, adding a little milk if necessary.
