Steps

  1. 1

    In a saucepan, add olive oil, water, bouillon cubes, salt, pepper, and oregano. Add the onions and sauté until softened.

  2. 2

    Before the onions brown, add the ground meat. Add the peeled and grated tomato and a pinch of sugar.

  3. 3

    Sauté the meat, stirring regularly until it changes color, then add the tomato puree. Add water as needed and let it simmer, stirring often, until the sauce thickens.

  4. 4

    In another pot, cook the pasta with a little salt according to the package instructions. Once cooked, drain in a colander.

  5. 5

    When both the pasta and meat sauce are ready, lightly oil a baking dish. Add the pasta and mix with grated cheese of your choice.

  6. 6

    Spread the meat sauce evenly over the pasta and gently press it down with a spoon to cover the surface.

  7. 7

    In a bowl, combine 1 cup milk with the ready-made béchamel sauce (follow the instructions on the package).

  8. 8

    Pour the béchamel over the meat layer in the baking dish and sprinkle more grated cheese on top. Bake at 350°F (180°C) with fan for about 1 hour, or until golden, depending on your oven! Enjoy 🫠😋🍽️
