Ingredients

100g Brussels sprouts,
100g Spinach
1 tbsp olive oil
350g pasta
2 tbsp butter
1 garlic clove , crushed
1 sweet onion, finely chopped
4 tbsp plain flour
500ml milk
2 tsp wholegrain mustard
200g mature cheddar , grated

Directions

Bake the sprouts with a little oil for 10-15 mins, tossing again halfway through.
Stir fry the spinach for 3-5 mins.
Meanwhile, cook the pasta until it has a slight bite then drain and set aside.
Heat the butter in a pan. Add the garlic and flour and cook for 1-2 mins. Gradually add the milk until the mixture is smooth, then simmer for 5 mins until thick.
Remove from the heat and add the mustard and most of the cheese, reserving one handful for the topping. Season well and stir. Add the pasta, then tip the mixture into a large baking dish. Top with the roasted sprouts and reserved cheese and bake for 20 mins until the cheese topping is golden and bubbling. Serve with a green salad, if you like.
