Directions
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 , WOW! I can’t put into words just how good this was! I’ve never tried this dish before but now I’ll be making it again and again Made it as direction, although I couldn’t find dried mint so I just left it out and it was so great! Make it!
