ÿSaute the onion, green onion, celery and carrot in the butter until

salt and pepper to taste (optionally, grated nutmeg is also good).
Lightly beat the egg yolks, then add a few spoonfuls of the hot sauce
to them, and mix well. Then add the egg yolks to the the rest of the
Bechamel sauce, mixing them in well. Set aside. Put the unsalted
butter into the macaroni and then put half the macaroni into a
rectangular baking pan.
Sprinkle with plenty of grated cheese and then cover with the meat.
Put the remaining macaroni on top and cover with cheese. Pour the
Bechamel Sauce over. Bake for about 40 minutes in a medium oven. Cut
