I'm not a big fan of béchamel sauce, but I loved the béchamel sauce in this pastitsio. It was so creamy and flavorful, and it paired perfectly with the pasta and ground beef.

This pastitsio recipe is a great way to use up leftover lamb. I had some leftover lamb chops, and they worked perfectly in this dish. The pastitsio was delicious and my family loved it.

I'm a vegetarian, so I made this pastitsio without the ground beef. It was still delicious! The vegetables were perfectly cooked and the béchamel sauce was so creamy. I highly recommend this recipe for vegetarians and meat-eaters alike.

I was looking for a pastitsio recipe that was a little lighter than the traditional version. This recipe fit the bill perfectly. It's still creamy and flavorful, but it's not as heavy. I'll definitely be making this again.
