Step by Step Method
Step 1
Cook pasta in a large saucepan of boiling, salted water until tender and then drain and return to the pan.
Step 2
Meanwhile, heat an oiled, large, non-stick frying pan over a high heat and add beef mince, garlic and onion flakes and cook, stirring to break up mince, for about 7 minutes, or until browned and then stir in sauces and remove from the heat.
Step 3
To make béchamel, melt butter in a medium saucepan over a medium heat and add flour, stirring for 1 minute and then whisk in milk and mustard until smooth and bring to a boil, whisking until thickened.
Step 4
Add to pasta with 1 1/2 cups of the cheese and season with salt and ground white pepper and stir well.
Step 5
Spread half the pasta mixture over base of a lightly oiled, ovenproof dish (12-cup capacity) and top with beef mixture and scatter over pickles and spoon over remaining pasta mixture and sprinkle with remaining cheese.
Step 6
Cook uncovered, in a hot oven (200C), for about 25 minutes, or until golden brown.
