1 lb. Ground Beef
1 Medium Onion, chopped
1 Can (28 ounces) tomato sauce
1 cup grated Parmesan Cheese, Divided
1/2 Teaspoon ground Allspice
Salt and Pepper to taste
1 Package (16 ounce) Penne Pasta
1/2 Cup Butter, cubed and divided
1/4 cup All-purpose Flour
2 cups milk
2 eggs, lightly beaten

In a large skillet, cook and stir beef and onion over medium heat until meat is no longer pink; drain. Stir in the tomato sauce, 1/3 cup of cheese, all spice, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat, simmer, uncovered for 15 minutes.

Meanwhile, cook pasta according to package directions. In a large saucepan, melt 1/4 cup butter. Stir in flour until smooth. Gradually add milk. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Remove from the heat; stir in 1/3 cup Parmesan Cheese. Gradually whisk egg until blended.

Drain pasta. Add the remaining cheese and butter; toss to coat.

Spread a third of the meat mixture in a greased 13" x 9" baking dish. Layer with half of the pasta, a third of the meat mixture and half of the white sauce. Repeat layers.

Bake, uncovered, at 350 degrees for 40-45 minutes or until bubbly.
