Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 180°C. Spray a 35 x 25 cm ovenproof dish with cooking spray.
2. Heat the oil in a large fry pan, add the onion and garlic and cook over a medium heat for 3 minutes or until the onion is soft and golden. Add the mushrooms and cook for 5 minutes or until brown and tender. Add the mince and cook until browned, breaking up any lumps that form.
3. Stir in the tomatoes, tomato paste, red wine, stock and parsley and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat, cover and simmer for 20 minutes. Stir in the sugar.
4. Cook the pasta in a large pot of rapidly boiling water until al dente (cooked, but still with a bite to it), drain well and put on the base of the prepared dish. Pour over the combined egg, egg white and nutmeg.
5. To make the white sauce Melt the margarine in a small pot, add the flour and cook for 1 minute or until golden. Remove from the heat and add the milk. Stir until smooth, return to the heat and stir until the sauce boils and thickens. Simmer for 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and cool before stirring in the egg.
6. Add half the white sauce to the meat sauce. Spread the meat white sauce over the pasta, then top with plain white sauce. Bake for 50 minutes or until golden. Allow to stand for 10 minutes before slicing.
