Cook your pasta just almost al dente in salted water. RESERVE 2 CUPS PASTA WATER FOR THE MEAT SAUCE. Transfer the pasta to a large bowl and toss with the parmesan, nutmeg and eggs. Coat all of the pasta thoroughly.

In a large pot, heat your oil. Add the onion and sauté until translucent, about 3 minutes.

Add the ground meat to the pot and break up the meat with a wooden spoon, until finely minced and no longer pink.

Next add the tomato paste and mix into the meat. Stir in the diced tomatoes, spices, sugar and salt and pepper to taste.

Add in 2 cups of the pasta water from your spaghetti pot. Bring to a boil and then lower heat to a simmer. Stir your sauce occasionally until it thickens - about 30 minutes. If your sauce gets dry, add more pasta water.

In a medium pot, melt your butter over medium high heat. Whisk in the flour until all is incorporated.

Gradually add in the warm milk, 2 cups at a time, whisking CONSTANTLY. Season with salt. Bring to a boil, cook and stir constantly, 2 minutes, until it starts to thicken.

Add the beaten eggs while whisking constantly. Bring to boil, cook and stir another 2 minutes.

Preheat your oven to 420°F.

Transfer HALF of the pasta to a 9x13” baking dish and spread out evenly. Then add all of the meat sauce on top and spread out gently. Next add the remaining pasta and spread out.

Evenly pour the béchamel onto the baking dish, gently spread with a spatula if needed.

Lastly, sprinkle the top evenly with the grated parmesan cheese.

Bake for 45-50 minutes or until golden brown on top. Allow to cool at least 20 minutes prior to slicing.
