Steps
- 1
Prepare pasta according to package directions, but not till al-dente. Just cook it to about 3/4-done. drain and set aside.
- 2
While the pasta is cooking, heat olive oil in a non-stick pan.
- 3
Add the cumin seds to the hot oil. wen they crackle, add the garlic and stir.
- 4
Add the chopped onion, stir till translucent.
- 5
Add the finely ground cinnamon. Cook it till it smells done (very aromatic).
- 6
Add the mushrooms (coarsely diced; you want chunks of mushroom in the dish).
- 7
When the mushrooms are almost done (the liquid evaporates), add the minced lamb. stir it around to break it up, and cook it till well browned.
- 8
Add the chicken bouillon cube, broken up, and the oregano and mix well.
- 9
When the meat-n-mushroom mixture is well cooked, take it off the heat. Add the pasta to this and toss everything well.
- 10
In a non-stick saucepan, melt the butter.
- 11
Add the flour to the melted butter and cook it till slightly golden (should lose the raw smell).
- 12
Add the milk in a thin stream, and whisk all the while. Continue till all the milk is added and the sauce seems slightly thick.
- 13
Add the salt, pepper and nutmeg. Mix well.
- 14
Now add the grated cheddar and parmesan. Mix till the cheese is melted and combined.
- 15
Turn off the heat, and immediately pour the sauce into the pasta (leaving a little to pour into the base of the baking dish). Mix the pasta well to ensure that the sauce coats it evenly.
- 16
Take a clean baking dish (glass, stoneware or ceramic) and pour the reserved sauce into the base (this is to ensure that the pasta doesn't burn while cooking).
- 17
Put the pasta in the baking dish, and top off with the extra grated parmesan.
- 18
Bake in a preheated oven at 180 degrees C, for approx 20 - 30 minutes (till the cheese is melted). serve hot.
