How I make it

Pasta

Cook the penne according to the package directions.
Drain and toss with 2 tbsp oil so it doesn't stick.

Sauce

Melt the butter in a pot and sweat the onion and garlic, stirring.
When they turn golden, add the flour and keep stirring.
Add the cream, stir and bring to a boil.
Add 3.5 oz (100 g) of the Parmesan and the feta and cook for 2-3 more minutes, stirring constantly.
Turn off the heat and season with salt, pepper and nutmeg.
Let the sauce cool, then stir in the eggs.

Assembly and baking

Sprinkle the remaining Parmesan and the breadcrumbs over the top.
Bake at 350°F (180°C) for about 45 minutes.
