Quote:
Authentic Greek Pasticcio

Ingredients
Meat Sauce
2 tbsp olive oil
30 g butter
1 onion large (red or white) chopped
1000 g ground veal or beef
1 tsp nutmeg ground
2 bay leaves
black pepper
2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp allspice
1 tbsp tomato paste
500 g tomato passata (uncooked and strained tomato puree)
100 ml boiling water
Pasta
boiling water salted
2 tbsp olive oil
750 g pasta Pasticcio pasta no. 2, long ziti pasta or lasagna sheets
15 g butter
Béchamel Sauce (improved)
2 liter milk
120 g flour (see notes)
80 g butter
2 eggs
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1/8 tsp nutmeg grated (about 3 or 4 grates)
50 g Kefalotyri cheese grated (or Romano Pecorino or Manchego) (see notes)
Add while Assembling
50 g Kefalotyri cheese grated (or Romano Pecorino or Manchego) (see notes)

Instructions

Meat Sauce
1. Pour olive oil and butter into a hot pan over a high heat
2. Add chopped onion and continue to cook about 5 minutes until the onions are translucent.
3. Add ground veal or beef meat and cook about 5 minutes until brown all over.
4. Add nutmeg bay leaves, allspice, salt and pepper and continue to cook one minute.
5. Add the tomato paste and tomato passata. Continue to cook a few minutes.
6. Add water, mix and reduce heat to low. Continue to cook covered about 5 to 10 minutes until you have a thick sauce consistency.

Pasta
1. Fill two-thirds (2/3) of a pot with water. Add olive oil and salt. Bring to a boil.
2. Add the Pasticcio pasta or lasagna pasta. Cook about 3 to 4 minutes less than time indicated on the pasta package. The pasta will still be a bit firm, as it will cook further in the oven.
3. Strain the pasta.
4. Add a little butter so the pasta doesn't stick to each other. Put aside.

Béchamel (improved)
1. In a pot, mix with a whisk the milk, flour, butter, eggs, salt, pepper, and nutmeg. All ingredients should be cold or at room temperature. Make sure to stir frequently to prevent lumps.
2. Put the pot over a medium heat on the stove. Continue heating and stirring until you see small bubbles on top.
3. Reduce heat and continue stirring until you reach a sauce consistency (like pancake batter). Remember, the sauce will probably thicken a little more when baking in the dish.
4. Remove from heat. Add the cheese and mix.

Assembling the Dish
1. Preheat oven to 200°C (390°F). Butter lightly a baking dish.
2. Add half of the pasta on the bottom of the baking dish. Sprinkle a couple pinches of grated cheese.
3. Add all the meat sauce on top of the pasta. Sprinkle a couple pinches of grated cheese.
4. Add the remaining half of the pasta on top. Sprinkle a couple pinches of grated cheese.
5. Pour all the improved béchamel sauce on top. Make sure everything is covered with the sauce.
6. Put baking dish into the oven. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until lightly brown on top.

Serve and enjoy!
