Heat 1/2 the oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add leek. Cook, stirring, for 3 minutes or until softened. Add mushroom, eggplant and fennel. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes or until starting to brown. Add wine. Simmer for 2 minutes or until reduced by half.

Add tomato puree and paste, and 1/2 the stock powder. Bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer for 5 minutes or until sauce thickens slightly. Stir in spinach and basil. Season with salt and pepper.

Cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes or until cauliflower starts to soften. Add flour. Stir to combine. Add almond milk, remaining stock powder and 1/2 cup water. Bring to the boil. Reduce heat to medium. Cook, covered, stirring often, for 15 minutes or until cauliflower is very tender. Using a stick blender, blend cauliflower mixture until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
