Turkish-Style Firin Makarna (Macaroni in the Oven)
A community recipe by TrkishdelightNot tested or verified by Nigella.com
Introduction
This is a very popular Turkish version of lasagne but not as saucy but with a wonderful thick cheese sauce. Wonderful with a salad drizzled with olive oil and lemon or with a roast chicken and roast potatoes which is how we eat it at home on a Sunday with brown sauce-its nice trust me! Its a little time consuming but well worth it-trust me. I think Nigella would be like this one-its comfort food at its best.

This is a great way of making the sauce topping without the risk of scrambling the egg. I add a little cinnamon powder to flavour my mincemeat. It's delicious!
