KITTENCAL'S GREEK PASTITSIO
To save some time the meat sauce may be made up to a day ahead if desired, try to use extra-lean ground beef for this it will make a difference in flavor, small penne pasta may be replaced for the ziti, but I do recommend using the ziti, adjust the chili flakes to suit heat level, or you may omit if desired --- also see my recipe#66596

GREEK PASTITSIO
Pastitsio is one of my favorite dishes, perhaps because I am half Greek! I sometimes prepare it in disposable foil pans to give away as a food gift. Cinnamon and nutmeg are traditionally used in authentic Greek pastitsio, but can be omitted if desired.

GREEK PASTITSIO
This pastitsio is guaranteed to remind me of holidays to Greece, it tastes so devine. Leftovers freeze well and should be defrosted before re-heating. I serve it with bread and a green salad. I use skimmed milk for the sauce, but any kind can be used.

GREEK PASTITSIO
I loved my short time in Cyprus, the island with its diverse foods and gorgeous breath-taking scenery. This recipe does take time to make but so worth the effort.
