GETTING READY

MAKING
2. For the meat sauce, mix all the ingredients together.
3. Cover the bowl with a wrap and place it in the fridge to marinate for 30 minutes.
4. To make the tomato sauce in a sauce pan, drizzle olive oil and add all the ingredients.
5. Mix well and cook for 15 minutes on medium heat.
6. When the sauce is bubbling add the marinated ground meat to the tomatoes, and 1 cup of standard pasta sauce that you usually use.
7. Mix all the ingredients together, and cook on medium heat for 20 minutes or until the meat is done.
8. At the end, don’t forget to taste your meat sauce and adjust the spices accordingly with Italian herbs, salt, and pepper.
9. For the béchamel sauce, on medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a saucepan then add 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour.
10. Mix well using a whisk and cook on medium heat until the mixture starts bubbling.
11. At this point, add 2 cups of milk and keep stirring the whole time!
12. Once you add the milk, cook the mixture on medium heat and keep stirring until the milk reaches the boiling point.
13. After the milk reaches the boiling point, watch your timer, and continue cooking the sauce for 10 minutes, stirring constantly.
