Pasta with Béchamel – The Best Way (No Eggs or Expensive Cheese!)
Ingredients:
- 1 bag of penne pasta (cooked)
- 500g ground beef
- 1 onion (finely chopped)
- Salt & black pepper
- 2 tbsp ghee (or butter)
For the Béchamel Sauce:*
- 1 liter milk
- 4 tbsp flour
- 1 tbsp cream **or** 2 processed cheese triangles
- Salt & black pepper
- 1 tbsp butter or ghee
Instructions:
1. Cook the Meat:*
- Heat the ghee in a pan, then add the chopped onion and sauté until golden.
- Add the ground beef and stir-fry until fully cooked.
- Season with salt and pepper. **No tomato sauce needed—trust me, the flavor is amazing without it!**
2. Make the Béchamel (Easy & Smooth!):
- In a blender, mix the milk, flour, and cream (or cheese triangles) until smooth.
- Melt the butter in a pot, then pour in the blended mixture while stirring.
- Keep stirring on medium heat until thickened. Add a pinch of salt and black pepper.
3. Assemble & Bake:
- Mix a little béchamel with the cooked pasta.
- In a baking dish, layer:
- Half the pasta
- All the cooked ground beef
- The remaining pasta
- The rest of the béchamel on top
- Bake uncovered until golden (no need to brush with egg or extra cheese—it turns out perfect!).
**Enjoy!** Let me know how it turns out—this method never fails!
