- 15ml olive oil
- 5ml spices for mince

- 400gr cooked pastaany kind will do
- 1 1/2cups cheddar cheesegrated
- 80gr butter
- 1/2cup flour
- 2cups milk
- salt and black pepperto season
- pinch paprika
- fresh rosemary
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, heat the olive oil and sauté the onion and garlic, add the mince and spices and cook until done.
- You can add a little water to the mince to prevent burning, add the canned tomatoes, season with salt and pepper and set to simmer.
- Melt the butter in a microwavable bowl, whisk the flour in and add the milk – return to the microwave until your white sauce thickens, whisking every now and then to prevent lumps
- When the mince and the pasta are cooked, mix the two together with the béchamel sauce (white sauce) in an oven proof dish.
- If the mince is too saucy, use a slotted spoon to transfer it to the oven proof dish. But the more sauce the better!
- Top with grated cheese, fresh rosemary and paprika.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 180 degrees Celsius for 10 – 15 minutes, or until the cheese start to bubble.
