How to Make Spaghetti Lyonnaise Au Gratin

  1. Bring 4 cups of salted water to a rolling boil in a large pot.
  2. Add 1 pound of spaghetti and cook for 5 minutes.
  3. Add 1 medium yellow onion, thinly sliced, to the pot and continue cooking until the spaghetti is al dente (about 5-7 more minutes).
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of cornflour (cornstarch), 1/4 teaspoon of freshly grated nutmeg, a pinch of black pepper, 1/4 cup of cold water, and then whisk in 1 cup of milk until smooth.
  5. Stir the cornflour mixture into the cooked spaghetti and onion. Bring to a simmer for 1 minute, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens.
  6. Preheat your broiler to high. Pour the spaghetti mixture into a greased oven-safe dish (approximately 9x13 inches).
  7. Top with 1 cup of crumbled Stilton cheese (or your preferred cheese) and 1/2 cup of rolled oats.
  8. Broil for 3-5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and golden brown. Watch carefully to prevent burning.
  9. Let stand for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy!
