Cooking process

Macaroni with meat

Cook the macaroni in a boiling water according to package instructions.
take a deeper pan and melt little bit of butter (or oil) and add chopped onion with a garlic and stir it till its golden brown color
then add ground beef and cook it on over medium heat till its brown color ( take care do not burn it, it will be brown very fast)
then put to the meat salt, a little ground cinnamon, black pepper, dried coriander, cumin, fresh parsley {as I already told its a option, you do not have to }
then put tomatoes to a mixer and whisk it till it will become smooth tomato sauce and then add the sauce on the meat in the pan.
Add little bit of water and cover the pan and let it cook with stirring occasionally about 10- 20 minutes.
At the end put 1 egg and mix it all together about 3 minutes and its Done.

Beshamel

Take a pan and melt a butter in very low heat then add a flour and mix it together. Keep mixing it in very low heat and add 1 liter of milk. Then you will mix it till the milk will became hot and very heavy – it will became a sauce of it.
You can put also salt and milled nutmeg
At the end you can add 1 egg to the sauce to make it really heavy but I do it without it.

Baking

Then take a baking form and put little bit of butter or oil all over form
Then put half of the cooked macaroni inside the form, on it add half of beshamel and on it all the cooked ground beef.
Then again put macaroni and the rest of beshamel.
On the top you can also put a cheese.
And bake it around 30- 45 minutes on 180 °
