Cheesy Leek & Pasta Bake

• 200 g jumbo pasta shells
• 600 g leeks, trimmed washed & sliced
• 2 tablespoons parsley, chopped
• 1 teaspoon thyme, chopped
• 50 g blue cheese, crumbled
• 50 g cheddar cheese, shredded
• 20 g parmesan cheese, grated
• 260 ml milk
• 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
• 2 teaspoons cornstarch (optional)
• 2 tablespoons water (optional)

1. Preheat oven to 200u0b0C.
2. Cook pasta according to package directions. Steam leeks until just tender over the boiling pasta.
3. Put shells in a buttered casserole dish. Top with the leeks and season lightly with salt & pepper. Sprinkle the chopped parsley and thyme over the top.
4. Put milk in a saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Add cheeses and stir to melt. If sauce seems a bit thin, you can thicken it by adding the 2tsp cornstarch to 2 Tbsp water and adding this mixture to the milk & cheese mixture and cook until thickened.
5. Pour the sauce over the leeks and top with the breadcrumbs. Bake for 30 minutes or until bubbly and golden.
