1
In 12-inch skillet, cook beef and onions over medium-high heat 5 to 7 minutes, stirring frequently, until beef is thoroughly cooked; drain.
2
Add garlic, oregano, cinnamon, salt and pepper; cook and stir 1 minute. Add macaroni and broth; heat to boiling. Reduce heat to medium-low; cook 10 to 12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until macaroni is just tender. Add tomatoes; cook 4 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until pasta is tender and sauce has thickened.
3
In small bowl, beat sour cream and milk with whisk until smooth.
4
Remove skillet from heat. Drizzle sour cream mixture over beef mixture; garnish with feta cheese and parsley.

Expert Tips

The acid in tomatoes can keep the macaroni from getting tender, so we cook the macaroni completely in the broth first to ensure tenderness.
A drizzle of sour cream stands in for the béchamel sauce in the classic version.
Serve with warm pita bread for a complete dinner.
