Step 1
Boil penne in salted water until al dente, about 10 minutes. Drain and set aside.
Step 2
Brown ground beef in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat, breaking it up with a spoon, until no pink remains, about 5 minutes.
Step 3
Stir tomato paste and oregano into the beef. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Step 4
Sprinkle flour over the beef and stir for 30 seconds. Pour in milk slowly, stirring constantly to avoid lumps.
Step 5
Add cooked penne and feta to the skillet. Stir gently until everything is coated and the sauce thickens, about 2 minutes.
Step 6
Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot straight from the skillet.
