- Pastitsio - with layers of pasta, a rich cinnamon spiked red wine meat sauce topped with a thick layer of cheese sauce, this is Greece's answer to Italian Lasagna. Let the games begin!

I’ve made this before and it is fussy, takes a lot of dishes and pots, but it is one of the most delicious foods ever invented. Well worth all the cleanup. Would feed a crowd.
you can freeze it in portions and relive the meal anytime you want
Moussaka will also wreck your kitchen, but it's worth it.
I must agree alot of work but the flavor omg !!!.......a people pleaser.
Indeed. Its the best pasta ever on earth.i had in Greece this and nothing in Italy I have ever had that came close to that.
And that is aside the fact that in Greece there is so much wonderful food to be found of any kind while in Italy it was 95% pasta Pizza all across the cities and places.
It truly changed my perspective how incredible Greek food really is.
You can simplify it, I use only one big pot to prepare everything.
But than again I make it with spinach and veggies instead of meat that needs to be cooked for an hour.
As a Greek I highly aprove! well done! Also extra points for not going easy on cheese!!!
Yeah, this and Moussaka will wreck your kitchen. But I made short cuts and have my Moussaka with no baking and no bechamel sauce.
😂
@@Pashasmom1 mousaka with no bechamel is kinda sacriligious! Zeus will smite you!! ok jokes aside am curious as to how it turned-as long as you enjoyed it it's fine :) :) and yea these dishes do take some time and make your kitchen ...less tidy :" )
Cheese is the best part of this dish
@@Eagle_Delta no the bechamel is...
I lived in Greece back in the 70’s, haven’t made this for ages. Will do now, your recipe is authentic. Thank you!
Same here. 1974 to 1980. I miss my grandmother's cooking.
if u lived in Greece u dont tell us this is authentic. Maybe u lying or u wanna just say something.
Yeah it is authentic it's also popular in Greek Republic cyprus🇬🇷🇪🇺🇨🇾
Exactly!!! Also as a Greek and a chef I highly approve this recipe!!! Very very well done!!!! 5 stars plus!!! 😁😁😁
As a Greek, I have to say your pastitsio looks AMAZING! Some tips for those who want to try it out:
- You don't have to put eggs and cheese in the bechamel sauce. You can put salt, pepper, and some other herb (e.g. nutmeg).
- It's easier to pour the milk a bit at time as it helps you have control over desired thickness!
- My mom tops it with some breadcrumbs and gouda cheese and it's also good!
- If you want it "lighter", omit the wine and bouillon.
Χωρίς κρασί δεν είναι το ίδιο η bolognese. Το κρασί δίνει τελείως διαφορετική νότα στον κιμά. Η συγκεκριμένη εκδοχή της bechamel έχει αυγά και είναι αυτό που την κάνει ακόμη πιο νόστιμη από την απλή σάλτσα. Επίσης, η συγκεκριμένη κρέμα δεν είναι bechamel ουσιαστικά, αλλά κρέμα Mornay, μια παραλλαγή της bechamel στην οποία μπαίνει απλά τυρί και γίνεται πιο πλούσια.
@@vasileiosgkountas468 Περί ορέξεως ουδείς λόγος!
In regards to the wine and bouillon, by “lighter” do you mean in colour or flavour, or both?
@@KarlMaldensNose In flavour :)
@@vasileiosgkountas468 thanks
Impressive... I also made pastitsio today which my late father in law taught me how to make. Just don't forget here in greece we always put dried oregano in most of our foods..
Mmmmmm, absolutely delicious. I love Greece, and Greek food is divine. Thank you.
I really like your videos because they are concise and easy to understand even without audio. This recipe looks delicious, I will try to make it soon
As Greek I grew up with this delicious dish.
In case someone wants to take my advice I suggest to use 100ml besamel directly to pasta before you add meat.No need for eggs or feta cheese inside.
One other thing. This dish has plenty of calories. There's no need for more.
Use 100gr of kefalotyri or pecorino inside besamel and 100 gr above for the stove.
It's tasty enough.Believe me.
is it really an hour to simmer the meat sauce? Why so long even though you're gonna throw it in the oven anyway?
@@JohnDoe-xx7kc 40 minutes medium heat is enough cuz there will be an extra 30-40 minutes inside the stove.
Help me understand, you are saying omit the eggs and directly do what to the besamel?
@@jdm6613 the recipe includes eggs and feta cheese for the spaghetti. The traditional Greek recipe has only cheese.
what I do instead is add 100ml of besamel.
Tried this for the first time today, and I have to say that it was extremely delicious🤤 ..
100% Traditional! I am impressed to see this, someone that knows this Recipe doesn't go with simple Bechamel but Morne and not using other cheese but Greek Kefalotyri (Κεφαλοτυρι) and feta.
I’ve always come back to this. Thank you Tin. I made it three times. 2 times made with Greek ingredients and 1 American. The Greek ingredients are the best. Thanks so much. My Greek bf loves it. ❤❤❤
I absolutely love following your recipes, you really make my life easier. Thank you and keep up the great work!
😍😍😍she is amazing
The music made me happy and the food made me hungry! Thank you! 👍
Fantastic Nagi, your meat sauce looks even yummier than the one I make. When I assemble my pastitsio I add a dollop of bechamel to mix into the pasta, and I also mix a dollop of the bechamel into the meat sauce, before adding everything to the dish in layers.
Woww yummy 🤤, I’m Greek and this pastitsio looks delicious.
Made this last night and it was delicious!!! Nagi's RecipeTinEats is a definite go to for a treat meal. I also recommend her Short Rib recipe.
Who knew that they had all these gorgeous spices in their dish? Boy, the Greeks rock! Looks totally fabulous.
@@jollybegood Shit is you. Back here? I find you everywhere... You're a nullity
Your videos taught me how to cook many new foods Im Greek Cypriot Australian living in Cyprus and your Pastitio is pretty spot on - although some here add chopped fresh parsley to the cooked mince .. otherwise its the same
This is absolutely a crowd pleaser and stealer....there will be none left for anyone at all . I want this right now and it's 6:52 AM were I'm at JUST FABLIOUS take me breath away. Thank you for sharing RecipeTin Eats🤍 have a great day to all 👩🏽🍳🙋🏽♀️
Thank you so much for doing this right. It was absolutely amazing video. You completely made the way it should be. Greatly appreciated.
This will be my winter dish. I love Greek food. Love from Sydney xxx
I had that once in my life, in Tarpon Springs Fl. It was sooo good! I’ve never seen it anywhere since. Now I can ( hopefully) make my own!
Love the little flourish with the spoon.
Merci j'aime beaucoup la cuisine grecque, très belle recette
DELICIOUS A great dish for lunch or dinner with a green salad. Thank you for sharing.
I am black from the Caribbean, my fiance is Italian American. I try different cultures food, and so does he.
Innately, he has a special place in his heart for his Italian Food, but also loves Greek food. I luv my Caribbean food. I also have a very very deep love for Greek food to the point when we have to eat out, he tells me he knows in my mind I'm thinking Greek food. (And yes, he's right)😀
But I play fair and we go to a variety of restaurants with different cultures.
Good to hear you love cooking Greek.I'm Greek but I love Italian food as my numero uno. Vice versa really😅🎉
Wow, looks so sophisticated and delicious! I definitely want to make this!
Also love the music!
This looks so good!
Thanks for the share ....My palate.has to experience this yummy bliss of a dish very soon."
Those onions were finely chopped with perfection 👌🏾 😍😍😍
Looked like a professional chef to me.
Im Greek and I have to say well done, you made this to perfection!! 😄👏🏼
is it not made with 1 part of lamb and 2/3 of beef ??? efkaristo poli
@@joshuaamitai No only beef... But you can do whatever you like 😝
Συγχαρητήρια, θεϊκό!!
Greetings from Greece 🇬🇷
Nicely done! That's an authentic recipe 😍
That looks really tasty. I’ll have to try it at some point when I can have friends over again.
I was by Lidl and bougth me Greek pastitio. It tastet as Dirty laundry is smelling. Used That the Greek has a Great Kitchen, I thougth lets See How It is Made. I Must say with those ingredients I gone make It myself and use your recepy. What a difference and such a tastefull ingredients. Must be delicious. Thank you. I Love Greek food.
Kefalotyri is a hard sheep's milk cheese. If you cannot find, use a pecorino romano or parmezan. I have made it this way many times, but do use an authentic feta made with sheep/goat milk. Greek pastitsio noodles (bucatini) can be substituted with ziti or macaroni
WOW THAT LOOKS GREAT!!
I’ve always wanted to make this but thought it might be a bit difficult. It’s not it’s just time consuming. It’s not a dish I would make during the week, you need a few hours to get it right. I would mention that I made a bit more sauce. I also used macaroni because I had a packet that needed to be used. I couldn’t get Greek cheese so I used Australian feta and pecorino which tasted really good. Let the dish sit for 1/2 hour or more, everything sort of relaxes and it’s soooo much easier to serve. Definitely will make again.
Very true. Not difficult at all just messy haha
Looks simple and delicious.
Wow looking so delicious thanks for sharing this delicious recipe best of luck dear ❤️👍
thank you. i made one tonight w/ some variations, but yours got me started.
Good morning from Alberta - Canada
An excellent recipe with all ingredients... I am a man who loves to cook... Delicious Pastitsio for sure .
Have a nice day...................Tom
Wow, this looks delicious!
Great job, loved the video! really well made
thanks for sharing this recipe, yum yum
Excellent demonstration of how to make pastitsio! My mum would usually put an egg in the béchamel to give it structure but I reckon it’s fine without it. All up: 🧑🍳😘👌
Looks amazing. Very nice. 👍
Fabulous! I also sometimes substitute halloumi cheese for the kefalotiri depending on what’s available.
Thank you Anna - I appreciate your help!
Looks delicious ! Love Greek Food
This looks sooooo good!
Can we talk about those onions? I just want to say, those are serious knife skills! Greatness! 🌟
Thank you for sharing this recipe 🖤
That looks nice really nice I’m going to try that one .always looking for new ideas. 😉
This looks so awesome!!
You did it, fantastic. Thank you
A Greek fed e with this today and made take away for me. It’s so good I had to come here for recipe.
Looks so scrumptious 😋
That looks very delicious!!
I have never made this, but every year I go to the Greek Festival just to go eat some! So yummy! One serving to eat there and one serving to bring home! Yours looks perfect and much better that the ones at the festival. But I'm sure the taste is about the same. = ]
I've always wanted to try this
Mal wieder super Ideen...gerade beim Frühstück ist es für mich schwer eine gesunde Alternative zu finden🙈🙌🏻 danke dir
This just looks amazing. Tomorrow's main meal!
What a dish 👍👍👍👍👍 thanks for sharing
Love it.love the music.
Maybe you did it better than us! 🇬🇷
Pastitsio and mousaka are great greek dishes! 🇬🇷
So great! I love it! 🌺
That looks sooo good.

I agree. This version looks visually stunning
Making the Asian chicken today, this looks like a project for the next cool day. Thanks Nagi.
That looks glorious!
I will be trying this on the weekend.
That looks amazing
Y'know, I've been watching way too many Tasty videos, because I was totally expecting the guy to say "OH YES!" at the end.
I really like all your video demonstration and explaining with great details and tips on your site. I can’t wait to make this Greek pasta. I was afraid that your white sauce was going to over flow.
I love this stuff.
We mix bashamel souce directly to pasta afterwards put over minced and fried meat,and at the top again bashamel souce as a thin layer.Also latest layer is mixed 2 yellows of eggs and cheese, which is spreaded top again then to oven.Also we add some little bit olive oil while it is boiling.
Yummy... food channels are the best
You did a great job!
Wowww Bellisimo e Bravissimo...
Nothing like a good Greek food 🇬🇷
It's italian not hellenic.
@@user-yp9zy1yc2n Similar dishes are Southern European but Pastichio is made only in Hellas (Greece). That's the truth.
@@user-pv2iz3zf5b pasticcio is italian from ferrara in northern italy the real italian dish is called pasticcio di maccheroni cooked by renaissance chef cristoforo di messibugo.
Absolutely 💯YUMMY
❤️ this is amazing
Παρά πολύ ωραίο. Μπράβο σου.🇩🇴🇩🇴🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷
🇨🇾🇪🇺
Looks awesome.
Thanks a lot for the ingredients measurements
Holy mother of pearl that looks goddamn delicious
The pasta is aesthetically pleasing
This ITALIAN thinks this looks and sounds incredible. I cannot wait to make and
see if it tastes as good....
So how was it?
@@jdm6613 100% Delicious!!!!!
@@vassilisioannou5488 I understand that paccticio is Greek. You do not have to be
Greek to enjoy it!!!! It's a great dish!!!!
As a greek that loves Italian food I am actually impressed an Italian likes Greek food, wow😂❤
@@nikvee6330 I've made the recipe now several times for different dinner guests.
They all LOVED it! Me thinks that GREEK FOOD IS HIGHLY UNDERRATED!!!!!
That’s a whole lotta yummolisciousness right there
If you cant find Kefalotyri near you then i suggest you swap it with white cheddar. Generally you need a tangy cheese like these types :D
I was just gonna comment asking about substitutions with cheese. I live in a small town and we don’t get a lot when it comes to the specialty cheeses.
My dad uses parmigian
I don't remember my Yiayia ever putting bullion or feta cheese in her Pastitsio. She used 12 eggs in her bechemel and layered the noodles between the meat, putting a little more on the botttom. The trick was to make sure none of the noodles were sticking up out of the bechemel or they would get hard during baking. Also where I live, there is no import store, but I have found a place online where I can order Greek cheeses and other Greek imports and they are delivered to your address, no P.O. Boxes - in the USA.
@@Pashasmom1 same w my family. No sugar no bouillon no feta or kefalotiri. Maybe a little mizithra in the noodles w eggs and a little meat mixture. Never used a dozen eggs in bechamel either. Just flour butter whole milk a few eggs nutmeg and parmigiana. I would not use white cheddar. It needs to be a dryer cheese. Nothing soft
noooo white cheddar. swap w parm. its not lasagna. u need a hard cheese in the noodles and bechamel. thats it!!
looks very yummy
Looks amazing
Really amazing 😍😍😍😍😍
Finally, someone who puts bay leaf in the minced meat. That's one of the smallest details that really elevates the dish.
Looks delicious x
This looks sooooooo good! 😍🤤
I've just bought your cookbook and was really sad to see that this recipe isn't included. Its such a fantastic dish.
