“You better cut the pizza in four pieces because I’m not hungry enough to eat six.”
Yogi Berra

"Believe it or not, American’s eat 75 acres of pizza a day."
Boyd Matson

"The dishes of the present day are very light, and they have a particular delicacy and perfume. The secret has been discovered of enabling us to eat more and to eat better, as also to digest more rapidly....The new cookery is conductive to health, to good temper, and to long life....Who could enumerate all the dishes of the new cuisine? It is an absolutely new idiom. I have tasted viands prepared in so many ways and fashioned with such art that I could not imagine what they were."
Louis Sebastien Mercier

Greek Pasticio

 

Ingredients

1 package pasta, cooked al dente (454 gms)
1 lb ground beef or lamb
2 onions, chopped
3 cloves garlic, chopped
1 can whole tomatoes, chopped and liquid draine
1 tsp oregano
1 tsp basil
1 tsp allspice
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp sugar - to taste

TOPPING

4 tbsp butter
4 tbsp flour
2 cup milk
3 tbsp parmesan cheese to taste
6 oz feta cheese to taste
2 to 3 eggs



 

Preparation

* Prepare ahead of time!!! Let cool completely! While toppping is
cooling, prepare pasta and meat filling.

Cook pasta tender but firm. Do NOT overcook!

Brown the meat with the chopped onions and garlic. Add the spices,
sugar to taste, and the drained tomatoes. Let the sauce simmer 30-45
min. Mix in the cooked pasta and put in a baking pan.

To make the topping, melt the butter (or margarine) in a saucepan
and mix in the flour to form a paste. Add the milk and heat at medium
stirring constantly until mixture thickens. When thick, add parmesan
and crumbled feta cheese and stir until melted. A few tablespoons of
parmesan and about 6 ounces of feta.

LET THIS MIXTURE COOL COMPLETELY BEFORE ADDING THE BEATEN EGGS!!!
After the eggs are stirred in, pour this mixture over the meat and
pasta. Bake about 45 min or until brown.

This dish is a bit like moussaka because of the topping.

NOTE: 6/12/93 - Made this dish with Montery Jack cheese instead of
feta. Used 1 to 1 1/2 cup tomato sauce instead of canned tomatoes and
2 eggs. Came out Delicious!!! - Set oven for 350-375F and cook a full
40 minutes.
