Grease a loaf pan; line bottom and ends with a double-thick strip of foil, leaving a 1-in/2-cm overhang; grease foil.

Make macaroni layers: cook macaroni, following label directions; drain; return to kettle. Stir in butter; sprinkle flour, salt, and pepper over; toss to mix well.

Beat egg; stir in milk; pour over macaroni mixture. Cook, stirring costatntly, over medium heat, until thickened; remove from heat. Stir in Parmesan cheese.

Make meat layer: Saute onion in butter until soft; add ground beef and brown, breaking meat up with a fork as it cooks.

Beat egg; stir in 1/2 can of the tomato soup, salt and pepper; stir into cooked meat mixture.

Spoon half of the macaroni mixture in an even layer in prepared pan; top with all of the meat mixture, then remaining macaroni mixture.

Bake in moderate oven (350°F/180°C) 1 hour, or until firm and brown on top.

Make sauce: While loaf bakes, heat tomato sauce with remaining 1/2 can of tomato soup, sugar, and basil to boiling; simmer 2 to 3 minutes to blend flavors.

Cool loaf in pan 10 minutes; loosen from sides with knife, then lift up ends of foil and set loaf on a heated serving platter; slide out foil. Slice loaf; serve sauce separately to spoon over.
