Instructions:
Preheat the Oven
Set your oven to 350°F (180°C).
Cook the Pasta
Cook the Stellini pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water according to the package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Make the Béchamel Sauce
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
Whisk in the flour and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly to form a smooth roux.
Slowly whisk in the milk, making sure no lumps form.
Cook and stir until the sauce thickens, about 4–5 minutes.
Season with salt and a pinch of nutmeg. Remove from heat and set aside.
Prepare the Meat Sauce
In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and garlic; sauté until soft and fragrant, about 3–4 minutes.
Turn the heat to medium-high and add the ground meat.
Cook, breaking it up with a spatula, until fully browned.
Enjoy!
