Pastitsio Recipe

Recipe By 12 Tomatoes

I am of the opinion that ina garten can do no wrong. Whether its her roast chicken, her beef bourguignon, or her lemon bars, the barefoot contessa always knows what shes doing in the kitchen and her pastitsio is no exception. Pastitsio is a greek pasta dish that features ground meat, tomato sauce, bechamel, and ziti thats baked together in a layered fashion you can think of it as greeces take on lasagna. Its comfort food at its finest and ina (of course) really does it justice.
