Directions:
Cook spaghetti according to directions and return to pan. Stir in the melted butter, 2/3 c. parmesean cheese , 2/3 c. milk, 2 eggs: set aside. In a skillet, cook ground beef and onion until meat loses its pinkness and onion is soft: drain excess fat. Stir in tomato sauce, 2 t. salt, cinnamon, nutmeg and pepper; set aside. In a saucepan, melt butter then mix in flour and 1/2 t. salt. Cook into a roux. Slowly stir in the 4 c. milk stirring well after each addition so that no lumps form. Cook and stir on medium high heat until cream sauce starts to thicken; stir for one minute more, then remove from heat. Take the last 2 beaten eggs, pour it slowly, while whisking briskly into the cream mixture. Blend in last 2/3 c. parmesean cheese. Layer 1/2 cooked pasta mixture into large roasting pan. Spoon the meat mixture over pasta, then top with remaining pasta. Pour cream sauce mixture over top to cover completely. Bake, uncovered, at 350 for about 40 minutes or until hot and lightly browned. Let stand for 10 minutes.
