GREEK PENNE PASTITSIO
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400. Coat a 9 x 13 inch baking dish with non-stick spray.
- For the casserole, cook penne in a pot of boiling salted water, 2 minutes less than package directions, drain.
- Heat oil in a skillet over medium high. Add onions and cook until softened, 3 minutes. Add lamb, olives, pepperoncini, garlic, tomato paste, oregano, thyme, cinnamon, and some red pepper flakes; cook, breaking up chunks of lamb with a wooden spoon, until cooked through; about 5 minutes.
- Deglaze skillet with wine; cook until evaporated, 2 minutes. Stir in crushed tomatoes, bring sauce to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer 10 minutes. Season sauce with salt and black pepper, stir in penne, then transfer to prepared dish.
- For the béchamel, melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in flour and garlic; cook 2 minutes. Gradually whisk in milk, then add cloves; simmer until thickened; 5 minutes.
- Whisk eggs in a bowl, add 1/2 cup milk mixture to eggs, then whisk back into milk mixture. Stir in feta and parsley; season béchamel with salt and black pepper. Pour béchamel over penne mixture. Bake pastitsio until bubbly and top is golden, 35 to 40 minutes; let stand 5 minutes before serving.
