To make cream sauce, melt butter or margarine in a small saucepan over medium heat; stir in flour, salt, and pepper. Gradually add 1 1/2 cups of evaporated milk; cook, stirring until thickened and slightly bubbly, about 5 to 8 minutes. Very gradually stir 1 beaten egg and egg whites into hot milk mixture (be careful not to scramble the eggs); set aside.

Layer half of pasta mixture in a prepared dish, spread with meat sauce and sprinkle with 1/4 cup of cheese. Top with remaining pasta mixture. Pour cream sauce over top and sprinkle with remaining cheese.
