Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius.
Cook 300 grams of pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add 500 grams of ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon.
Add 2 cloves of minced garlic, 1 teaspoon of oregano, and the juice of 1 lemon to the skillet. Stir to combine and cook for another 5 minutes.
In a separate saucepan, melt 50 grams of butter over medium heat. Whisk in 50 grams of flour and cook for 2 minutes. Slowly add 500 milliliters of almond milk, whisking constantly until the sauce thickens. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
In a baking dish, layer half of the cooked pasta, followed by the beef mixture, then the remaining pasta. Pour the béchamel sauce over the top, spreading it evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown.
Allow to cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
