Description

Usage of ng add @nguniversal/express-engine does not guarantee Angular Universal app to be ready.

🔬 Minimal Reproduction

1. Establish new angular project with CLI: ng new derek6 --style=scss --routing
2. Generate SSR with related schematic: ng add @nguniversal/express-engine --clientProject derek6
3. Launch SSR (Node) application by appropriate command: npm run build:ssr && npm run serve:ssr

Application is up and running without any error.

4. Go to default port, which app is served on: http://localhost:4000.

It results with the following error:
You must pass in a NgModule or NgModuleFactory to be bootstrapped
