1/2 cup olive oil
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 red onion, finely diced
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1 bay leaf
2 teaspoons red pepper flakes
6 anchovies, finely diced
1 tablespoon sugar
2 tablespoons water
40 g pancetta, finely diced
40 g sausage meat
salt and pepper
10 g unsalted butter
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
125 ml milk
2 teaspoons fresh chives
3 tablespoons pre-shredded mozzarella cheese
2 tablespoons breadcrumbs
120 g fresh ricotta
75 g frozen chopped spinach, thawed, WELL drained of any excess liquid
65 g sun-dried tomatoes
cooking spray
250 g dry pasta

Preparation

Heat deep fry pan then add oil; fry onions for about 3 minutes; add garlic; fry additional 2 minutes until onions are soft.
Add in tomato paste; stir for about a minute until combined.
Add in diced tomatoes in tomato juice, bay leaf, anchovies, water, red pepper flakes and xylitol; adjust to personal taste.
Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer 45 minutes.
In additional fry pan, fry pancetta and chorizo sausage meat until golden brown; add to marinara mixture.
Marinara done! :).
In a saucepan, add all bechamel ingredients (except cheese) and stir \"continuously\" with a wooden spoon until sauce thickens.
Heat oven to 180\u00b0C (350F).
Place breadcrumbs on a baking tray; bake for 5 minutes (until dry, not browned); remove; set aside.
In a bowl, combine ricotta and spinach.
Cook spaghetti in boiling salted water; cook for 7 minutes (al dente); drain; oil spray; set aside for about 10 minutes.
Place 1/2 cup of cooked pasta into a plastic measuring cup. Place the 1/4 plastic cup inside the cup with pasta. If you don't have plastic measuring cups, you get the idea that the spaghetti needs to be \"packed\" down tightly; can do by hand while pasta is \"in\" something.
QUICKLY, turn measuring cup over onto marinara sauce; be gentle but quick lol You want it so it looks like a mound.
G-E-N-T-L-Y, with the back of a teaspoon push down on the spaghetti to form a round hold without going through the bottom of the spaghetti. You can stop with the teaspoon fits inside the nest with a bit a room around it too!
Place 1 - 2 teaspoons of spinach ricotta mixture in the base of the nests. with a spoon (or with your fingers ;-) ) GENTLY push down until it covers the base. You do not want to push too hard that the nest will collapse. ;-).
Top with 1 -2 teaspoons of bechamel sauce.
Top with breadcrumbs; can add a few pieces of shredded cheese (optional).
Bake for about 30 minutes or until golden brown.
