Mostaccioli and Beef

6 ounces mostaccioli/penne noodles ( 1 ½ cups)
1 pound lean ground beef
Onion (I use onion powder)
½ tsp oregano
¼ tsp salt
¼ tsp cinnamon
1/8 tsp nutmeg
1 can (8 oz) tomato sauce (I use the one with Basil, Oregano)
1 clove of garlic
1 Tbsp margarine
2 Tbsp flour
Dash of nutmeg
1 ½ cup milk
¼ cup Romano or Mozz cheese

Cook noodles, drain and set aside. Cook ground beef and onion in skillet. Stir in oregano, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, tomato sauce, and garlic.

Alternate layers of noodles and beef mixture in ungreased 2 qt casserole.

Heat margarine in saucepan over low heat until melted. Stir in flour and dash of nutmeg. Cook over low heat, adding milk slowly. Whisk to remove lumps. Stir constantly until smooth and boiling. Spoon over noodles and meat.

Sprinkle with cheese and bake uncovered at 350 degrees for 35 minutes.
