Makaronio me feta (thing)

Beltane is often thought of as "the carefree Sabbat," and so many foods with simplistic, light symbolism are eaten. One of those is for good luck. In China, eating noodles is a good luck charm, and the Greeks combined noodles with goat cheeses to make this nice late spring/early summer dish, perfect for the hearty appetites worked up under the hot sun.

Ingredients:

• 1 pound macaroni, cooked
• 1/2 cup butter, melted
• 1/2 cup olive oil
• 4 tablespoons cornstarch
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 cups milk
• 1 beaten egg
• 1/2 cup parmesan cheese, grated
• 3/4 teaspoon nutmeg
• 2 tablespoons parsley
• 1 cup gorgonzola cheese, crumbled
• 1 1/2 cups feta cheese, crumbled

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 375º F. Mix together all the ingredients until smooth. (No instructions are given in the original recipe on how to do this, but I suggest definitely dissolving the cornstarch in the milk and mixing the macaroni in last.) Place the macaroni evenly in a 9 x 13 greased pan (use glass please!). Bake for 40 minutes until the top is browned.

Yield: Serves 6-8
