👨🍳 步骤
- 1
Cook the makarounia according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
💡 专业技巧: Do not overcook the pasta as it will bake further. - 2
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion and sauté until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
- 3
Add minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- 4
Add the ground meat to the skillet and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned. Drain off any excess fat.
💡 专业技巧: Ensure all meat is browned for best flavor. - 5
Stir in the tomato paste, red wine, cinnamon, allspice, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened.
💡 专业技巧: Allow the sauce to reduce to concentrate flavors. - 6
While the meat sauce simmers, prepare the béchamel. Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes to form a roux.
- 7
Gradually whisk in the warm milk until smooth. Bring to a simmer, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens. Season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg.
💡 专业技巧: Whisk continuously to prevent lumps. - 8
Temper the egg yolks by whisking a small amount of the hot béchamel into them, then whisk the tempered yolks back into the main béchamel sauce. Cook for another minute, but do not boil.
💡 专业技巧: Tempering prevents the yolks from scrambling. - 9
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
- 10
In a large bowl, combine the cooked pasta with about half of the béchamel sauce and toss to coat.
💡 专业技巧: Ensures pasta is evenly coated. - 11
Spread half of the coated pasta in a greased baking dish. Layer the meat sauce evenly over the pasta.
- 12
Top with the remaining pasta, then pour the rest of the béchamel sauce over the top, spreading it evenly.
- 13
Sprinkle with grated halloumi cheese, if using. Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbly.
💡 专业技巧: Bake until the top is nicely browned and the sauce is bubbling. - 14
Let it rest for 10-15 minutes before serving.
💡 专业技巧: Allows the dish to set, making it easier to slice.
