Cook until the meat is done, adding a little water or wine, if necessary. Pour the melted butter over the macaroni and add the feta cheese. Season with salt and pepper and mix macaroni carefully to blend ingredients. Spread half the macaroni in bottom of baking pan; cover entirely with meat sauce. Spread remaining macaroni on top.
