Instructions

1
Cook pasta until al dente. Drain and toss with a little butter.
2
Brown ground meat with onion and garlic. Add tomatoes, wine, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Simmer 15 minutes until thick.
3
Make béchamel: Melt butter, whisk in flour 1 minute. Gradually add milk, whisking constantly. Cook until thick. Off heat, stir in egg yolks and half the Parmesan.
4
Spread half the pasta in a greased 9x13 baking dish. Top with all the meat sauce, then remaining pasta.
5
Pour béchamel evenly over the top. Sprinkle with remaining Parmesan.
6
Bake at 375°F for 35-40 minutes until golden brown and bubbling.
7
Let rest 15 minutes before cutting into squares. This is Greek lasagna — comfort food royalty.
