This is reminding me of a dish I had years ago at Grendel’s Den in Harvard Square. I don’t recall the name of it. I remember the cinnamon. It was very good. I’ll have to try this sometime!
Yum!!!!
This looks phenomenal. Thank you for sharing, well done!

Have made moussaka but never pastitsio. You’ve inspired me to give it a go! 👏🏻💙
We think you'll love it! We're doing a moussaka for the channel/blog soon!
Wow ! This looks delicious!The goat cheese really brings great flavour too. Okay Kris, I’ve asked before,but an you now give us a great Moussaka recipe? Please.Happy New year to my Fave gourmet guys!!♥️♥️🇨🇦🇨🇦
That looks so good. I might just be giving that a try 🤔. Kris and Wesley I hope y’all had a great Christmas and have an awesome New Year!! 🎉🎉🎉
Thank you, Paul!! We had a great Christmas and we hope you and yours did, too! Happy New Year!
Adding your milk in 3 parts and using a whisk will help it incorporate into the flour better without clumping.
Another winner! I've made this before but this recipe sounds much better than mine! Great idea for the New Year...Happy to you all and thank you again! xoxo
Kafalo-whata cheese?? Standby while I run to the corner market (or take a flight to Greece) ... 😆 ((WOW)) Looks incredible!! When the video first began and you showed all those beautifully cut noodles, I pictured Kris having sous chef Wesley stack little noodles in perfect rows 😂.. Who knew you just lay those long noodles in the dish & they wind up cutting like that!?!? 😮 Your Chicken/Spinach lasagna is really hard to beat, but I'll try this one too! I'll use the cheese & noodle substitutions you suggested though 😉 ~~~THANKS for another awesome recipe!! xoxo
The name of these cheese is hard to say, for sure! But, it is yummy...as is the entire dish! And those noodles!!! Thank you so much!!!! xoxo
Looks delicious 😋 can’t wait to try this recipe.I’m from NY and I have this in a Greek restaurant.Happy New Year 🎊
Yes!!! So good...and really fun to make at home! Happy New Year!!
looks great - u guys are hilarious
Thank you so so much, Brad! We had fun making pastitsio...and it's soooo yummy! Please stay in touch and stay tuned...so much more fun and food on the way! Kris & Wesley
Is that really the rule with wine? Cause ive always said and done the exact opposite lol. If i get a wine i dont love ro drink, i cook with it! That way its not wasted and honestly i cant tell the difference when i use a good quality red wine or the $4 wine from the grocery store.
No need to break the wine when cooking with it. We just don't recommend cooking with a wine that's so bad you wouldn't drink it at all (ie, cooking wine). Happy New Year!
I use penne pasta, easier to cut with a fork. Also do a moussaka with eggplant instead of pasta
Sounds awesome! Happy New Year!
Please don’t call this a “Greek lasagna”! It has nothing to do with lasagna! Pastichio is pastichio!
Ok!
That’s right, it’s not a “Greek lasagne.” Also, these are lots of deviations from a “traditional bolognese” sauce. Not just the cinnamon. Traditional bolognese sauce has celery, to complete the sofrito. And it’s a mix of pork, beef and veal. And it’s cooked for at least 4 hours. No bay leaves. No spices other than salt and black pepper. And absolutely no garlic. We Italians don’t cook with loads of garlic. Just a world away from this recipe. Also, the min you add cheese to bechamel it’s no longer bechamel. It’s Mornay sauce. There’s no such thing as “Greek” bechamel. Bechamel is French and regardless of who uses it, it’s still French. That’s waaaaay too much nutmeg, btw. That sauce needed a lot more milk. It shouldn’t start off like a thick paste. It should get thicker after you cook it for a while. And Greeks don’t cook their pasta al dente. None that I’ve ever seen, anyway. And I spent years in Greece. Also, you know how you prevent the pasta from sticking to itself or the bottom?….. you use enough water to let the pasta swim around. That’s how you should cook pasta. The water should be as salty as sea water and enough water to let the pasta swirl around. No oil or constant stirring necessary.
