Method

Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan, then cook the leeks for 4-5 minutes until soft but not coloured. Stir in the spinach and let it wilt over the heat for 1-2 minutes. Season well with black pepper, then transfer to a colander set over a bowl to thoroughly drain off any liquid.
Make the béchamel sauce: melt the butter over a medium heat in a small saucepan.
