Pre-cook the pasta in salted water for about 4-5 minutes (no longer!). Strain and reserve 200 ml of the pasta water. Sauté the finely chopped onion and garlic with the minced meat. Season with salt, pepper, and herbs. Dust with flour, stir well and quickly, and pour in 200 ml of the pasta water. Simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring frequently. Mix the pasta with the sauce and transfer to a baking dish. Mix together the milk and Parmesan cheese and pour over the pasta. Bake in a preheated oven at 200°C (top/bottom heat) for about 15-20 minutes to create a nice crust. Serve with chopped parsley.
