Utensils Used
| 1. In a large, deep skillet over medium high heat, warm oil. | 2. Add onions and garlic and saute till translucent (about 5 minutes). | 3. Add beef and brown well, breaking meat up as it cooks. | 4. Stir in cloves, cinnamon, bay leaf, tomatoes, tomato paste and wine. Stir, reduce heat and simmer till thick and flavors are well blended (about 1 hour). | 5. Adjust seasonings. | 6. Bring a large pot of water to a boil, add macaroni and cook according to package directions, or till just tender to the bite (15-20 minutes). Drain well. (the original recipe calls for 2 lbs of pasta - this sounded like a huge amount to me, so use your own judgement regarding your own family's tastes). | 7. Place half the macaroni on a large heated platter. Sprinkle generously with cheese. Place remaining macaroni on top and sprinkle again with cheese. | 8. Melt butter in a large skillet over medium high heat till it foams and turns golden brown, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon so that it does not burn. | 9. Pour butter over macaroni then spoon some of the meat sauce over the top. | 10. Serve macaroni with remaining meat sauce in a bowl alongside. Pass additional cheese and serve immediately. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
