Steps:
- Parboil the pasta. Drain and put in the baking pan. You should toss it around in some butter, oil, or margarine to keep it from sticking. Then add a generous amount of grated cheese and toss. You also have the option of placing half the pasta in the dish, filling the middle layer with meat sauce, and adding more pasta on top. You also have another option of tossing the pasta and the meat sauce together and leaving it like that. Do whatever your heart desires. You may also toss in some egg whites. Beat them a bit with a fork, and then toss them around with your hands into the pasta mixture. They just do this so they don't waste the eggs. It really doesn't make it tastier or anything.
- For the meat sauce in a large pot, sauté the onion, garlic, and parsley in the oil until the onions turn translucent. Then add tomato paste (optional) and stir for a few seconds. Season with salt and pepper.
- Add chopped meat. Stir, let it release some juice. You could, at this point, add a splash of red wine for change in taste but it's really not necessary.
- Add the chopped tomatoes, cloves, and cinnamon, and let the tomatoes release some juice. Stir.
- Add the tomato sauce or crushed tomatoes and stir. Taste for salt.
- Add a cup or two of water, bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer on low for an hour and a half or until there is no water left in the pot.
- Now, as I said before, you have the option of layering the meat sauce, or mixing it in with the pasta.
- For the béchamel, in a saucepan on low heat, melt one stick and a half of butter.
- Gradually add flour and whisk until the roux forms a gunky ball and you can't stir anymore.
- Gradually add 6 cups of milk and the bouillon (if you want it). I'd say even 5 and 1/2, because I like my sauce really thick. Stir occasionally and make sure you whisk away the flour caught around the edges with a rubber spatula and whisk again. Once the sauce thickens, remove from heat. Add grated cheese, the egg yolks (slowly so they don't curdle while whisking very fast), the nutmeg. Add a pinch of salt (if necessary)and pepper. If you like creamy sauce, make it with the full six cups of milk.
- Make sure your pasta and meat sauce are at an even level in the pan, and then pour in the béchamel on top. Even it out with a spatula.
- You may top with more grated cheese, nutmeg, cinnamon, or even breadcrumbs.
- Bake in a 350 degree oven for about 40 minutes or until the top turns golden brown.
- Lastly and most importantly, let the pastitsio rest for an hour or two before eating. The béchamel has to set and solidify a little bit. If you don't wait, the sauce will gush out.

Steps:
- For the sauce, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat in a large pot. Add the onion and saute for 5 minutes. Add the beef and lamb, and saute over medium heat for 8 to 10 minutes, until it's no longer pink, crumbling it with the back of wooden spoon. Drain off any excess liquid, add the wine, and cook for 2 more minutes. Add the garlic, cinnamon, oregano, thyme, and cayenne, and continue cooking over medium heat for 5 minutes. Add the tomatoes, 2 teaspoons salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 40 to 45 minutes. Set aside.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- For the bechamel, heat the milk and cream together in a small saucepan over medium-low heat until simmering. In a medium saucepan, melt the butter. Add the flour and cook over medium heat, whisking constantly for 2 minutes. Pour the warm milk and cream mixture into the butter and flour mixture, whisking constantly. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, over medium heat for 5 to 7 minutes, until smooth and thick. Add the nutmeg, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon of pepper. Stir in 3/4 cup of Parmesan cheese, 1/2 cup of the tomato and meat sauce, and allow to cool for 10 minutes. Stir in the eggs and yogurt and set aside.
- Meanwhile, cook the pasta in a large pot of boiling water until al dente. Don't over-cook because the pasta will later be baked. Drain and set aside.
- Add the pasta to the meat and tomato sauce, and pour the mixture into a baking dish. Spread the bechamel evenly to cover the pasta and sprinkle with the remaining 3/4 cup Parmesan cheese. Bake for 1 hour, until golden brown and bubbly. Set aside for 10 minutes and serve hot.

Steps:
- Start cooking the pasta.
- While pasta is cooking, separate meat in a skillet or shallow pan. When a little brown, add 1 to 2 cans of tomato paste. Add salt, pepper, nutmeg and cinnamon; and a little water to help cook if necessary.
- While the meat is cooking start on the crema (bechamel style sauce). Mix the eggs with the milk in large pot. Add in 1 cup of flour and whisk constantly until it thickens and all lumps are gone. Add the remaining flour at 1/4 cup at a time if needed (the mixture will be very thick). Turn heat to low and continue stirring constantly. Once lumps are gone and the consistency is correct, add the butter and 1 cup of the parmesan, and stir in.
- Drain the pasta and mix in about one and a half cups of the crema and 3/4 cup of the remaining parmesan. Put half of the pasta mixture into a greased 9x13 dish (if you have a deeper or larger one I would use that). Layer meat on top of noodles. Add remaining pasta on top of the meat and then spread all of the crema on top. Sprinkle with remaining parmesan.
- Bake at 170C/fan for 45-50 minutes or until top is slightly brown and let it cool 15 minutes before cutting.
- Serve with a small Greek or Italian salad and enjoy!

Steps:
- Prepare the minced meat. In a saucepan put some olive oil, the onion, garlic and minced meat, and sauté. Add the wine and cover the saucepan. Let it cook for 5 minutes then add the chopped tomatoes with the ketchup, oregano, salt and pepper. Stir the food and cook for about 20 minutes until all the excess liquid is gone from the meat.
- In a saucepan put plenty of salted water, bring to the boil and add the spaghetti. When cooked, strain and pour the melted butter over the pasta. Stir well and put it in a deep baking tray. Put the cooked minced meat on top and open up pockets to allow the meat to spread through the spaghetti so that you donât have just minced meat on the surface but both spaghetti and minced meat are well blended. Sprinkle some grated cheese over the top.
- Prepare the béchamel sauce. In a non-stick saucepan heat most of the milk with the butter and put the remaining milk in a bowl with the flour, making a paste. Pour the flour paste and milk into the saucepan with the hot milk and bring to the boil. Wait until the sauce thickens and starts making small bubbles, then stir thoroughly. Leave it for 2 minutes (from the moment the bubbles start), then remove from the heat.
- Beat the egg and add to the sauce. Season with salt and pepper and add ½ cup of grated cheese.
- Pour this mixture over the tray and with a spoon open little slots to let some of the sauce blend with the spaghetti. The top should be a nice layer of béchamel sauce.
- Put the tray into the oven at 180°C for 20 minutes, or until the surface becomes golden brown.
- Allow the food to stand for 10-15 minutes so that you can cut it nicely, and serve.
