Meanwhile prepare the sauce. Melt the butter, add the flour, stir and cook about 3-4 minutes in a medium-sized pot. Slowly pour in the warm milk while stirring constantly. The milk and flour should blend very well. Add the nutmeg, salt and pepper. Turn the heat off. Let it cool down for 3-4 minutes. Then add the eggs one by one, mix very well.

Add feta cheese and parsley to one half of the sauce, toss it with the pasta in the Pyrex dish. Then add the Kasar or Mozzarella cheese into the rest of the sauce. Cover the pasta with it equally.

Preheat the oven to 400 F and bake for about 30 minutes until the top takes a golden colour.
