                        -----TOPPING-----
   4       tb           Butter
   4       tb           Flour
   2       c            Milk
   3       tb           Parmesan cheese to taste
   6       oz           Feta cheese to taste
   2                    To 3 eggs

    * Prepare ahead of time!!! Let cool completely!
  While toppping is
      cooling, prepare pasta and meat filling.
  
    Cook pasta tender but firm. Do NOT overcook!
  
    Brown the meat with the chopped onions and garlic.
  Add the spices, sugar to taste, and the drained
  tomatoes.  Let the sauce simmer 30-45 min. Mix in the
  cooked pasta and put in a baking pan.
  
    To make the topping, melt the butter (or margarine)
  in a saucepan and mix in the flour to form a paste.
  Add the milk and heat at medium stirring constantly
  until mixture thickens.  When thick, add parmesan and
  crumbled feta cheese and stir until melted.  A few
  tablespoons of parmesan and about 6 ounces of feta.
  
    LET THIS MIXTURE COOL COMPLETELY BEFORE ADDING THE
  BEATEN EGGS!!! After the eggs are stirred in, pour
  this mixture over the meat and pasta. Bake about 45
  min or until brown.
  
    This dish is a bit like moussaka because of the
  topping.
  
  NOTE: 6/12/93 - Made this dish with Montery Jack
  cheese instead of feta. Used 1 to 1 1/2 cup tomato
  sauce instead of canned tomatoes and 2 eggs. Came out
  Delicious!!! - Set oven for 350-375F and cook a full
  40 minutes.
