in flour and cook until mixture turns  golden. Gradually stir in hot
milk and cook, stirring until sauce is  smooth and hot. In a small
bowl, beat egg yolks, then briskly stir 1  cup of hot milk mixture.
Pour egg milk mixture into remaining sauce.  Stir and remove from heat
without cooking the eggs.  Prepare Thick Sauce: Heat milk to a simmer,
and set aside.  In a  bowl, beat eggs with flour.  Gradually stir hot
milk into the egg  mixture. Return to saucepan and cook, stirring
constantly, until  mixture is quite thick. Do not boil after the eggs
have been added.  Main Recipe: Brown chopped onions and meat in butter.
Add tomatoes,  tomato sauce, spices and seasonings.  Cover and simmer
for 30  minutes, or until liquid has been absorbed.  Preheat Oven t0
350  Degrees (they mean Fahrenheit here -- Bill). Cook pasta according
to  package directions, and drain. Sprinkle bread crumbs into a
buttered  11x14x2 inch baking pan. Place a layer of pasta in the baking
pan;  then add half the thin cream sauce. Add meat. Sprinkle with 1/4
cup  grated cheese. Cover with remaining thin cream sauce. Spread thick
cream sauce over the top and sprinke it with remaining 1/2 cup  cheese.
Bake for 1 hour, or until golden. Let stand for 15 minutes to  cool,
and cut into squares (Note that you cannot cut the Pastitsio  easily
unless you cool it for 15 minutes.) When ready to server,  reheat in
hot oven Note: This dish can be prepared a day in advance,  adding the
thick cream sauce just before baking the dish.  EAT-L Digest 13 July 96
