Directions
For the Macaroni:
In a saucepan pan combine olive oil and butter to heat. Add onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes.
Add mince and sauté for another 5-6 minutes, stirring until it changes color and becomes granulated.
Pour in wine and leave it for 1 minute to evaporate alcohol.
Add tomato sauce, laurel leaf and cinnamon stick.
Add salt and pepper, 2 cups of water and stir.
Cook for about 20 minutes, stirring regularly, until the mince is a bit juicy.
In the meantime, let the macaroni boil in a pan of amply salted water for 2-3 minutes less than the time indicated on the packaging. Drain and put back in saucepan.
For the cream:
Pour milk and corn flour in a large pot, and stir with a whisk until it thickens and creates a cream. Add the whipped eggs, stirring continuously until they are well mixed.
Remove from heat and add mustard, butter, cheese, salt, pepper and nutmeg. Mix well.
For assembling:
Preheat the oven to 180 ° C.
In a pan, spread the boiled spaghetti, the minced meat, finely chopped parsley and sprinkle with hard Danish cheese. Cover with the mustard cream and spread with a spoon.
Bake in the oven for about 45 minutes until the cream is evenly browned.
Let the pasticcio cool slightly and cut into large pieces.
