PASTITSIO 
1/4 c. butter
1 onion, chopped
1 tbsp. chopped parsley
1/2 tsp. nutmeg
1 (8 oz.) can tomato sauce
1 lb. macaroni
2 lb. ground beef
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tsp. cinnamon
Salt and pepper
1/2 c. white wine, can be omitted
3 eggs
Parmesan cheese
4 c. white sauce made from 1/2 c. flour, 1 tsp. salt and 4 c. milk

Brown ground beef in skillet with onion, garlic, and parsley. Add cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, pepper, wine, and tomato sauce. Simmer 30 minutes. Cook macaroni, drain and add 1/4 cup butter, eggs, and generous sprinkling of Parmesan cheese. Spread remaining macaroni over the top. Cover with white sauce. Dot with butter and sprinkle with cinnamon, if desired. Bake 1 hour at 350 degrees. I sometimes make it with lasagna noodles, instead of with macaroni.
