Peel and finely dice the onion and garlic, add to the hot oil, and sauté until golden brown. Finely chop the rosemary and fry briefly. Then add the minced meat and fry. Add the tomatoes (with liquid) and tomato paste, bring to a boil briefly, and season generously with salt, pepper, sugar, and spices. Simmer the sauce until almost all of the liquid has evaporated. Meanwhile, wash the zucchini and cut into 0.5 cm thick slices. For the sauce, heat the butter in a saucepan, add the flour, and briefly bring the roux to a boil while stirring. Deglaze with the milk and stock, bring to a boil, and finally add the cream cheese. Melt, stirring occasionally. Season the sauce with salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Pour some of the tomato and minced meat sauce onto the bottom of a baking dish, arrange the zucchini slices on top, and spread with the remaining tomato and minced meat sauce. Then spread the cheese sauce and finally the grated cheese over the casserole. Bake at 200°C for about 30 minutes.
