Million Dollar Spaghetti is a delicious variation of spaghetti, resembling lasagna. It is a good idea to let the meat sauce cook for a long time, because then the tomatoes will be sweeter and the sauce will have a rounder taste. If you don't have time to wait, you can add 1 tablespoon of sugar.
250 g spagetti
1 tbsp olive oil
Boil the spaghetti until al dente (with chewing resistance), pour off the water and stir it together with the olive oil. Set aside.
Meat sauce:
400 g chop dough
150 g diced bacon
A little olive oil
2 finely chopped onions
2 cloves finely chopped garlic
1 bottle, or 2 cans of finely chopped tomatoes (preferably Mutti)

2 teaspoons dried oregano
1 ts salt
1 ts pepper

2 tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon nutmeg
2 tablespoons wheat flour
