For the best flavor, use freshly grated nutmeg. It makes a world of difference! Feel free to experiment with different types of sausage. Italian sausage or chorizo would also be delicious. If the sauce becomes too thick, add a splash of milk to thin it out.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPrepare the Bechamel: In a saucepan over medium-low heat, melt the butter. Whisk in the flour until smooth and cook for 5-10 minutes, creating a roux. Season with salt and white pepper. Gradually whisk in the milk, ensuring no lumps form. Cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens and becomes smooth, about 10-15 minutes.
02
StepCook the Pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to package directions, about 12 minutes, until al dente. Drain well and transfer to a large serving bowl.
03
StepEnrich the Sauce: Remove the bechamel from the heat. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks with a tablespoon or two of the hot sauce to temper them. Gradually whisk the tempered egg yolks into the bechamel, followed by the grated nutmeg. Stir until well combined and the sauce is rich and glossy.
04
StepSauté the Sausage: While the pasta is cooking, sauté the sliced sausage in a skillet over medium heat until browned and cooked through, approximately 5-10 minutes.
05
StepCombine and Serve: Pour the bechamel sauce over the cooked pasta and toss gently to coat. Add the sautéed sausage and stir to combine. Season with additional salt and white pepper to taste. Serve immediately.
