Separate the egg whites from the yolks into two bowls<\/p>\n
Beat the egg whites\u00a0 a little with a whisk or fork and pour them into the spaghetti and mix (leave aside)<\/p>\n
Save the yolks for the b\u00e9chamel<\/p>\n

Saut\u00e9 it a little until it becomes transparent, add the minced meat<\/p>\n

Beat the yolks and pour them into the b\u00e9chamel mixing well with a wire whisk<\/p>\n
Pour the B\u00e9chamel on top of the pasta in the pan, starting from the middle, slowly so that it goes everywhere being careful so it doesn\u2019t go over the sides<\/p>\n
Sprinkle some cheese on top<\/p>\n
Bake in a preheated oven at 180 degrees for 35-40 minutes until it gets a nice brown color<\/p>\n
