Ingredients:
For the pasta layer:
300g (10.5oz) Pasta
2 Eggs
140g (5oz) Feta cheese
1-2 tablespoons Olive oil
1 teaspoon Dried oregano
Salt to taste
Black pepper to taste
For the meat mixture:
1½ pound (700g) Ground beef
1 Onion, chopped
3 Garlic cloves, crushed
2 tablespoons Tomato paste
400g (14oz) Tomato sauce
1/4 teaspoon Cinnamon
Salt to taste
Black pepper to taste
2 Bay leaves
1 teaspoon Thyme
1/2 cup (120ml) Red wine
2-3 tablespoons Olive oil
For the béchamel sauce:
1L Milk
120g Butter
120g Flour
1/4 teaspoon Salt
¼ teaspoon Pepper
1/4 teaspoon Nutmeg
85g (3oz) Parmesan cheese
2 egg yolks
Directions:
1. Make the pasta layer: Cook the pasta to al dente according to package directions, drain. Let cool slightly, then add 2 eggs, chopped parsley, cheese, salt and pepper. Stir to combine. Transfer the pasta to a greased 13X9-inch (33X22cm) baking dish and set aside.
2. Meat mixture: Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat in a large skillet. Add chopped onion, sauté for 3-4 minutes, add crushed garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes more. Add ground beef, cook, breaking it up, until no longer pink, about 5-6 minutes. Add tomato paste and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add red wine, cook, until alcohol evaporated. Add tomato sauce, bay leaves, cinnamon, salt, pepper and simmer for 15-20 minutes, until thickens. Remove bay leaves and set the meat mixture aside.
3. Béchamel sauce: In a large saucepan over medium heat melt the butter, add flour and whisk continuously, until smooth paste forms. Gradually add the warm milk while continually whisking to prevent lumps. Whisk until the sauce is smooth and thick. Remove from heat and add pinch salt, black pepper, nutmeg, parmesan and egg yolks, whisk until smooth.
4. Preheat oven to 350F (175C).
5. Assemble: add 4-5 tablespoons of the béchamel sauce to the meat mixture and mix until well combined. Spread meat mixture over the pasta layer. Pour béchamel sauce over the meat mixture and spread evenly. Grate some parmesan cheese on top.
6. Bake for 40 minutes, until golden brown. Remove from oven and let cool for at least 30 minutes before serving.
Notes:
• Instead of red wine you can use beef broth.
• I used penne pasta but you can use any other pasta for this recipe.
• Pastitsio can be serve warm or cold, but after baking it is important to let it cool for at least 30 minutes.

I don't know what it is about this channel but your video aesthetics make the recipes seem achievable. I love a lot of other food porn channels but their videos mostly make me want to just sit and watch without attempting to make the food but yours are so down to earth, so to say, and it looks like I can actually make them myself.
❤
I have made this a few times, and I must say that the small bit of red wine adds lots of flavor....If you have not tried this you should, it is delicious.
My wife makes this dish and I can tell you it is absolutely delicious .
I make it too, and you are right!
I don't know why I see this video while I am Greek and I know how to make it 🤩

Χαχα
მალტაში აკეთებენ მსგავს, ამ ყველაფერს ზემოდან ცომს აფარებენ. და მე ასე pasta al forno-ს ვაკეთებ იტალიურად, მხოლოდ მოცარელას ვუმატებ. როგორ გავს ერთმანეთს ევროპული სამზარეულო :) მაგარია აუცილებლად გავაკეთებ ასეც.
Tried it and wow it’s my best dish I can cook

Hi can you say what size dish you used for this Pastitsio recipe? And can this be put into the freezer for later? Thanking you
Because it has tomatoes, you should eat it as soon as possible. Even if you put in the fridge, there is a possibility that it will get a sour flavour after a day or two. Then you now that you must throw it.
Lovely and delicious 😋👌
Looks so delicious!😋😋
Thank you :)
Que sabrosa😋
The real greek pastichio has no feta in pasta only greek cheese like parmezan, no garlic, no thyme, no wine at meet and only cinammon and carnation... greetings fron Athens.
I don't understand why people add wine in food at all
I don’t understand why people come just to criticize... with so many beautiful things to do in our lives...
@@julianaflopes we just want to learn and understand :-)
@@julianaflopes its constructive criticism
@@ekaterinavinogradova9154 Well you can google that
chale...
Could you gimme a substitute for wine?
Looks delicious. Does patsitsio usually have two layers of noodles or is this the most traditional way to prepare it?
Qué delicias me encanta mucho😋
Why have you noted on your recipe chopped parsley and on your video you add oregano in your pasta layer?
I like allspice instead of cinnamon
Mmmmmm delicious good
👍😘
Guys, come on, it's "pasticcio". P-A-S-T-I-C-C-I-O
No it's Παστίτσιο and it's Greek, so don't spell it any other way other than "Pastitsio".
Wait is this not just lasagne but no pasta and not layered the same. Confused lol
Can this be made the day before? or is it best made the same day? Thanking you.
Can be made a day before. You can reheat it in the oven/microwave or serve it cold.
@@TheCookingFoodie Thanking you will make it tonight for tomorrow lunch time. Looks so very lovely.
Its always better the day after you make it....so yes!
Pretty sure wine isn't a part of the recipe
Hi. I’m Muslim what can you replace the wine by? Thanks
خل
Just leave it out.
Read recipe notes, you can find that information there. :)
👍🌷👍🌷👍🌷👍🌷
Is the red wine necessary and is their a substitution for it
Thanks, hope to be making this for my birthday
You can substitute it with more stock.
You can use non-alcoholic red wine. Also consider that when you cook with wine, the alcoholic part of the wine evaporates leaving only the flavor in the food.
Where can i get just one piece like this??
👍
هاي بشمل
120 gr. ? For 1 L I need 60 gr......
Can I subtitute the red wine into other halal liquid?
Yes, shure! I don't understand why people add wine in food..You can add broth (for.example maggi )
I want a bigger piece please.
NO FETA CHEESE!!! GET A GOOD KEFALOTYRI TO DO THAT OR PARMEZAN AND NO THYME, JUST OREGANO
Not how you make it! Have to use the longer noodles and yiu have to add cheese in the white sauce 😋 😫
Feta cheese??...!
Looks great but expensive
wrong pasta
Avec quoi on peut remplacer le vin ?
C b
Greek ??? This is Italian PASTICCIO !!!
Downvoted for how f***ing long you have to wait for the instructions to start.
