Step 1: Prepare the Ingredients
Step 2: Sauté the Aromatics
In a frying pan, melt the margarine and sauté the onion and garlic until fragrant. Add the boiled carrots and diced sausages, stirring well until the sausages are slightly browned.
Step 3: Make the Sauce
Pour in the UHT milk and let it simmer. Add the grated cheddar cheese, Bolognese sauce, salt, broth powder, sugar, nutmeg, and black pepper. Stir the mixture well and let it cook until the sauce thickens slightly. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
Step 4: Add the Macaroni
Stir the cooked macaroni into the sauce. Mix gently until all macaroni is evenly coated and the sauce has thickened slightly.
Step 5: Add Eggs
Turn off the heat. Crack the eggs into the mixture and stir slowly until fully incorporated. Be careful not to scramble the eggs.
Step 6: Fill and Steam
Scoop the mixture into aluminum foil cups. Top each with more grated cheese (cheddar or mozzarella) and sprinkle with dried parsley. Steam for about 30 minutes until the top is set and the aroma fills the kitchen.
