Macaroni and Cheese

(Fırında Makarna)

250 gr penne pasta (picture)

White Sauce:
4 tbsp butter
1/4 cup flour
1 cup milk, warm
4 eggs
1/2 tsp nutmeg
Salt
Pepper
2/3 cup feta cheese, crumbled
1/4 cup parsley, chopped

Garnish:
2/3 cup Turkish kashar or mozzarella cheese, grated

Boil the pasta with salty water following the instructions on the package, drain.

Meanwhile prepare the sauce; melt the butter, add the flour, stir and cook about 3-4 minutes in a medium-size pot. Slowly pour in the warm milk while stirring constantly. The milk and flour should blend very well. Add the nutmeg, salt and pepper. Turn the heat off. Let it cool down a little bit. Then add the eggs one by one, mix very well.

Add the feta cheese and parsley into the sauce then toss it with the pasta. Place it in a medium-size oven proof dish. Cover the pasta with grated cheese equally.

Preheat the oven to 400 F (200 C) and bake for about 30 minutes or until the top takes a golden colour. Don't over bake it!
