Pastitsio (Greek Pasta Bake) image

Recipe video above. Greece's answer to Italian Lasagna! This traditional Greek dish is made with layers of pasta topped with a rich meat sauce perfumed with a hint of cinnamon and clove, topped with a thick layer of cheese sauce.For the neat layers pictured, arrange the pasta so they're all going in one direction, and rest the baked Pastitsio for 15 minutes before slicing. Excellent for making ahead (keeps for 4 to 5 days in the fridge) and freezes very well!

Number Of Ingredients 26

2 tbsp olive oil
3 garlic cloves (, finely minced)
2 red onions (, finely chopped (sub yellow or brown onions))
1 kg / 2 lb beef mince (ground beef)
3/4 cup red wine (, dry (Note 1))
800g / 28 oz canned crushed tomato
2 beef bouillon cubes (, crumbled (stock cubes))
2 tbsp tomato paste
1 tsp white sugar
1 bay leaf
1/2 tsp cinnamon powder
1 cinnamon stick ((or extra 1/2 tsp cinnamon powder))
1/4 tsp ground cloves
3/4 tsp salt
1 tsp black pepper
100g / 7 tbsp butter (, unsalted)
3/4 cup flour (, plain/all purpose)
1 litre / 4 cups milk (, whole/full fat best but low fat ok)
1/8 tsp nutmeg (, preferably freshly grated)
1/2 tsp salt
100g / 3 oz Kefalotyri Greek cheese (sub Parmesan or Romano) (, finely shredded (Note 2))
2 egg yolks ((egg whites are used in the pasta))
400g / 14 oz Pastitsio No. 2 pasta / Greek bucatini ((sub small ziti, penne or normal bucatini, Note 3))
120g / 4 oz feta (, crumbled)
2 egg whites ((yolks used in Béchamel))
75g / 3 oz Kefalotyri Greek cheese (sub parmesan or Romano) (, finely grated (Note 2))

Steps:

  • Heat in a large pot over high heat. Add garlic and onion, cook for 2 - 3 minutes until onion is softened. Add beef and cook, breaking it up as you go, until it changes from red to brown.
  • Add wine and and cook until the wine has mostly evaporated - about 3 minutes.
  • Add remaining Meat Sauce ingredients. Stir well, bring to simmer, then reduce heat to medium / medium low so it's simmering gently. Cook for 45 min to 1 hour until liquid is mostly gone, stirring every now and then. It should be a thick mixture with little liquid, not saucy like Spaghetti Bolognese (Note 4).
  • Remove from stove and cool. Preferably to room temperature, otherwise for at least 30 minutes before assembling (lid off).
  • Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add flour and stir for 1 minute.
  • While stirring, slowly pour half the milk in. It should turn into a wet paste. Then again, while stirring, pour in remaining milk - the paste should easily dissolve so it's lump-free. If not, just whisk vigorously.
  • Cook, stirring so the base doesn't catch, for 5 minutes or until thick enough so it coats the back of a wooden spoon thickly and you can draw a path across it with your finger.
  • Remove from stove. Stir in nutmeg, cheese and salt.
  • Leave to cool for 5 minutes. Then whisk in egg yolks quickly. Place lid on and set aside. If sauce cools and gets too thick to pour, just reheat on a low stove until pourable.
  • When you're ready to assemble, cook the pasta per packet instructions, minus 1 minute.
  • Drain, then return to the pot. Leave to cool for 3 minutes, then stir through egg whites. Gently stir through crumbled feta.
  • Preheat oven to 180°C/350°F (all oven types).
  • Place pasta in a baking dish (33 x 22 x 7 cm / 9 x 13 x 2.75"), arranging them so they are all going in the same direction as best you can (for visual effect when sliced). Make the surface as level as you can.
  • Top with Meat Sauce, then smooth the surface.
  • Pour over Béchamel Sauce, then sprinkle over the cheese.
  • Bake 30 min or until crust turns golden.
  • Cool for at least 10 minutes so you can cut neat slices with tdhe layers neatly visible. Serve!

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the dish will taste. Use fresh vegetables, flavorful cheese, and high-quality olive oil.
  • Cook the pasta al dente: Al dente means "to the tooth" in Italian, and it refers to the ideal texture of cooked pasta. Pasta should be cooked until it is just tender, but still has a slight bite to it.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the pasta, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the pasta from cooking evenly and becoming mushy.
  • Use a large skillet: When making the sauce, use a large skillet so that the vegetables have plenty of room to cook. This will help them to caramelize and develop flavor.
  • Season the dish to taste: Once the dish is cooked, season it to taste with salt, pepper, and any other desired seasonings.

Greek fettuccine is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is packed with flavor and is sure to please everyone at the table. With its vibrant colors and bold flavors, this dish is sure to become a favorite.
