Hello, my name is John, I’m Canadian of greek descent and I live in Montreal, Canada. Today I’m going to talk to you about a greek dish that is easy to make and easy to enjoy. The dish is called pasticcio. Pasticcio is a pasta dish made mainly with pasta, minced meat and béchamel sauce. Served with a fresh greek salad it is simply delicious.
This dish is one of the most popular greek dishes especially amongst kids.I will give you my recipe for pasticcio a little bit later but first I would like to tell you that greek food is accompagnied with some red wine or restina and followed by a nice greek party. So call some friends over cook pasticcio and prepare a lot of salad for them, let them bring the wine, have some friend play bouzouki and have yourselves a great party.
My recipe for making this tasty dish is as follows:
500g Macaroni pasta preferably Misco
500g Beef minced meat
9 oz Tomato juice
Salt and pepper to taste
For the Bechamel sauce...
4 cups milk
2 bags béchamel sauce mix
3 eggs beaten
3 handfulls of kefalotiri cheese grated
Salt and pepper
Boil one pot of water for the pasta, when boiling put the pasta in there.
Place minced meat in another pot with water and cook to the boiling point
to remove impurities. Strain put back in the pot, add tomato juice salt and
pepper, boil and let it cook.
Remove the pasta from its pot and start putting it in a big pan. Place one
layer of pasta , one layer of minced meat and continue this way until your
pasta and minced meat is in the pan in layers.
Prepare the béchamel sauce by putting all its ingredients in a pot. Stir
constantly until sauce is thick. Pour the sauce on top of the pasta and
minced meat. Then place the pan in the oven at 375 degrees Fht. for
minced meat. Then place the pan in the oven at 375 degrees Fht. for
about one hour. Then you let it cool and serve.
