Pin Recipe Instructions
- Peel the onion and chop finely. Grate the cheese.
- To prepare the minced tomato sauce, melt 10 g butter in a pan and steam the onion until translucent. Add the minced meat and fry until it has turned gray. Mix in the tomatoes and parsley, season with salt, pepper and cinnamon. Pour in the white wine and let the sauce simmer on low heat for about 15 minutes. Let cool a little and stir in 1 egg.
- Cook the pasta according to the instructions on the packet.
- To prepare the bechamel sauce, melt 20 g butter, add the flour and let it take on a light brown color while stirring. This takes about 5 minutes. Now carefully pour in the hot, but not boiling, milk little by little and stir with the whisk. Allow to thicken slowly for approx. 10 minutes on a low setting while stirring constantly (otherwise it burns easily). It should have a consistency like pudding in the end. Simmering the sauce for a longer time is important because it loses its floury taste. Let the sauce cool down a bit, stir in 1 egg and 2 tablespoons of cheese, then season with nutmeg and salt.
- Grease a baking dish and layer half of the pasta. Sprinkle two tablespoons of cheese on top. Distribute the minced tomato sauce evenly over the pasta. Layer the remaining pasta. Spread the bechamel sauce on top of the pasta. Bake in the preheated oven at 200 degrees top / bottom heat for about 40 minutes.
