Directions:

Preheat oven to 350°F / 180°C / Gas Mark 4

- Cook the macaroni according the the package instructions.
- Lightly grease a 9 x 12 x 3 inch casserole dish.
- Cut the Filo dough to fit the dish.
- Cover the Filo dough with a damp tea towel to avoid it drying out.

1. In a large bowl, combine the cooked macaroni, 3 tablespoons of the melted butter, beaten eggs, crumbled Feta cheese and grated Parmesan cheese.

2. Season with salt, white pepper, and nutmeg.

3. Mix well to incorporate all of the ingredients.

4. Place 6 sheets of the Filo dough in the buttered casserole baking dish.

7. Brush butter between each layer of the filo and on the surface with the remaining 3 tablespoons of butter.
