- 1 tsp olive oil
- 12 oz ground beef
- 1 onion peeled and diced
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1 tbsp flour
- 2 cloves garlic peeled and minced
- 1 tbsp tomato paste
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 8 oz macaroni cooked
- 3 oz mozzarella cheese grated
- 2 oz cheddar cheese grated
Heat the olive oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Add the beef and the onions and fry for about 5-6 minutes until cooked. Lift out of the pan with a slotted spoon.
Meanwhile, blend the sauce ingredients together.
Melt the butter in the same pan over medium heat and add the garlic, flour, oregano and tomato paste. Cook for 1-2 minutes until toasty smelling.
Add about half the sauce, and cook for 3-4 minutes until thickened. Add the rest of the sauce, a little at a time, always waiting for it to boil and thicken before adding the next batch.
Add the beef and onion mix and cook for about 5 minutes.
Stir in the pasta and sprinkle the cheese over the top. Place under a hot grill for the cheese to melt and go crusty.
