  4. Mix the cooked macaroni with the egg white mixture. Set aside.
  5. In a large skillet heat the oil. Add the onions and cook until translucent.
  6. In the same skillet cook the lamb for 5 minutes or until the pink has dissipated (165° F). Add cinnamon, tomato paste, tomato puree, white wine and simmer for 10 minutes.
  7. Toss in the parsley, seasoning and bread crumbs to thicken and stabilize mixture. Pull off heat and set aside.
