Instructions
-
-
In a big skillet set over medium-high heat, warm up a little vegetable oil. Chop the onion and mince the garlic, then sauté until aromatic and transparent.
-
To the skillet add the minced meat and heat, stirring, until well browned.
-
-
-
Add the dry red wine and cook, stirring, until the alcohol evaporates, a few minutes.
-
Stir in the sugar, nutmeg, salt, and black pepper and the diced tomatoes. Simmer the mixture, stirring now and then, until it thickens into a rich sauce, approximately 15 to 20 minutes.
-
Cook the pasta in a separate saucepan following the package directions, until al dente. Pour off and leave aside.
-
-
-
Melt the butter over low heat in another pot. Heat through the chopped leek.
-
To make a roux, gradually whisk flour into the leek and butter combination.
-
Pour in the milk gradually, stirring all the while to prevent lumps. Cook just till sauce thickens and coated spoon back.
-
-
-
Stirred into the white sauce until melted and well blended is the shredded Parmesan cheese.
-
Stir until well covered the cooked spaghetti and meat and tomato sauce in the pan.
-
Spoon the steak and pasta mixture into an ovenproof dish. Spread evenly over the top the creamy leek sauce.
-
-
-
Toss in the grated mozzarella cheese.
-
Turn up the oven to 180°C (350°F). About 20 to 25 minutes should be plenty to melt and bubble the cheese over the spaghetti.
-
After that, take out of the oven and leave it to cool a little before serving.
