Pastitsio

Back to Home

The heart of this pastitsio is much like a beef Bolognese - we start by frying onion and garlic in olive oil and then brown beef mince before adding wine, tomatoes, herbs and spices - thyme, cinnamon, and oregano.

We simmer the beefy ragu until it is tender and thick and then stir through the cooked penne pasta.  This is then topped with a Parmesan-laced bechamel, with the addition of yoghurt, giving it a Greek accent and making the bechamel a little lighter. 

Bechamel sauce [milk, yoghurt (milk, skim milk powder, cultures), egg, plain flour, butter (cream, salt), parmesan cheese (milk, salt, cultures, non-animal rennet), salt, nutmeg], minced beef, crushed tomatoes (tomato puree, citric acid), pasta penne (wheat semolina), onion, red wine (sulphites, clarifying agent (milk 0.01%)), parmesan cheese (milk, salt, cultures, non-animal rennet), olive oil, garlic, salt, oregano, cinnamon, thyme.
