Pastitsio (παστἰτσιοοοοο)...!

This is a piece of Greek heaven.. enjoy :-)

Here's a good recipe to follow: www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/pastitsiobeefandmaca_86776

All the ingredients.. though only the onions and garlic are from the vegetable box...!

Grate the onion

Add in the meat

Add the tomatoes, tomato purée, cinnamon stick, ground cloves, oregano, bay leaves, water, salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste, and simmer for 30-40 minutes, stirring now and then, until the sauce has thickened but is still nicely moist.

 Prepare the pasta and in the meantime prepare the white sauce: melt the butter in a medium-sized non-stick saucepan, add the flour and cook, stirring, over a medium heat, for one minute. Gradually beat in the milk, then bring to the boil, stirring. Lower the heat and leave to simmer for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally. Then layer.. pasta, meat, pasta, meat, pasta then white sauce.

180'C for 40 minutes

καλἠ ὀρεξη!!!
