Cómo preparar Pastichio

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Cook 1 pound elbow macaroni according to package directions, until al dente. Drain well and rinse with cold water to cool.
In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add 1 medium onion, chopped, and cook until golden brown, about 5 minutes.
Add 1 pound ground beef (or lamb) to the skillet and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and no longer pink. Drain off any excess grease.
Stir in 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1/2 teaspoon dried basil, 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1 (28-ounce) can crushed tomatoes, 1/2 cup water, and salt and pepper to taste. Simmer over low heat for 15-20 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened and the water is absorbed.
In a large bowl, gently combine the cooked macaroni, meat sauce, 2 large eggs (lightly beaten), and 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese. Mix thoroughly.
Grease a 10x15 inch baking dish. Spread the macaroni mixture evenly into the prepared dish.
In a medium saucepan, prepare the béchamel sauce: Melt 4 tablespoons butter over medium heat. Whisk in 1/4 cup all-purpose flour until smooth.
Gradually whisk in 3 cups milk until smooth and creamy. Bring to a simmer, whisking constantly, until the sauce thickens. Stir in 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese and a pinch of nutmeg.
Pour the béchamel sauce evenly over the macaroni mixture in the baking dish.
Sprinkle an additional 1/4 cup of Parmesan cheese and a light dusting of cinnamon over the top.
Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until golden brown and bubbly. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving.
