# π¨βπ³ How I Make It
# # # Step 1 β Build the Flavor Base
Heat oil in a pan. Add onions and cook until soft and lightly golden.
Mix in garlic and stir for a few seconds.
Add the beef and cook until no longer pink. Break it apart while cooking.
Stir in tomato puree, tomato paste, herbs, salt, and pepper.
Let this simmer gently for about 20 minutes until thick and rich.

# # # Step 2 β Prepare the White Sauce
Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat.
Add flour and stir continuously for about a minute.
Slowly pour warm milk while whisking to avoid lumps.
Keep stirring until the sauce becomes smooth and creamy.
Season lightly with salt and nutmeg.
