This recipe is divided into 3 parts; the pasta, meat sauce, and bechamel sauce!
Pasta:
if you are making dinner for two then you will only need:
250g pastitsio pasta
1/3 cup olive oil
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp salt
vegan meat sauce:
1/2 large onion
3 cloves minced garlic
1 tbsp cinnamon
1 tbsp chopped thyme
11/2 packs of beyond meat minced meat
11/2 cups tomato sauce
1/2 cup broth
2 heaping tbsp butter
Bechamel sauce:
1 cup butter
1 cup flour
31/2 cups milk
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp salt
How to make this incredible pastitsio dish!
For the pasta:
The first thing we are going to do is make the pasta! If you are making this dish for two people then you will only need 250 gr of pasta, however; if you are making it for more than two people I suggest you make all 500 gr of pasta. Simply place pasta into a large pot of boiling water with some salt and cook for 10-12 minutes. The ratio of water to pasta should be 1 ltr to 100g of pasta. Once cooked discard the water, place the pasta into a glass bowl and add in the cinnamon, salt and olive oil, and mix! set aside
For the meat sauce:
add a bit of olive oil to a nonstick frying pan. add in the chopped onion and let that cook for 5 minutes. Add in the vegan mea, the tomato sauce, garlic, cinnamon, salt, broth and butter. Let cook uncovered on medium heat for 10 minutes until the water evaporates. turn off heat and set aside. Now lets make the bechamel sauce!
For the bechamel:
Place the butter into a saucepan and let it melt. Once melted add the flour and mix continuously with a whisk for a couple minutes until well combined, then slowly add the milk 1 cup at a time but don't stop whisking! Add cinnamon and salt and turn off the heat. Now it's time to assemble our pastitsio.
get your deep dish baking tray out and add a spoon full of tomato sauce and olive oil to the bottom of the baking dish. Start with adding one layer of the noodles. Then the meat sauce, then the noodles again and then top off the noodles with the bechamel sauce. You can sprinkle the sauce with some vegan cheese and bake for 30 minutes at 360F.
Remove and let cool for 20 minutes!! Now you're ready to dig in!
Enjoy!
Updated (not traditional, but delicious) Greek Pastitsio Recipe
Found this one in a magazine, but didn't write down where!
I know it isn't AUTHENTIC pastitsio
Meat Sauce
1 tbsp olive oil
1 onion chopped fine
3 tbsp tomato paste
6 garlic cloves, minced
2 tsp dried oregano
2 tsp ground cinnamon
1 1/2 pounds lean ground beef (turkey or lamb)
salt and pepper
1/2 cup red wine (or beef broth)
1 (15oz) can tomato sauce
1/2 cup grated Pecorino Romano cheese
Pasta and Bechamel Sauce
Salt and pepper
8 oz (about a cup of dry) elbow macaroni
5 tbsp butter
1/2 cup all purpose flour
3 garlic cloves, minced
5 cups whole milk (I used 2% milk)
1 1/2 cups grated Pecorino Romano cheese
3 large eggs
1/3 cup plain Greek yogurt
1. Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 425 F. Heat oil in large skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Add onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in tomato paste, garlic, oregano and cinnamon and cook until paste begins to darken about 1 to 2 minutes. Add beef and 1 tsp salt and cook until beef is no longer pink, about 5 minutes (this took longer for me!)
Stir in wine ( is used beef broth) and cook until slightly reduced to about 1 tablespoon, 2-4 minutes. Add Tomato sauce and simmer until slightly thickened about 10 minutes. Off heat stir in Romano. Season with salt and pepper set aside.
2. Cook macaroni according to package directions, drain and set aside in a large bowl.
3. Melt butter in large saucepan or Dutch oven over medium heat, add flour and garlic and cook, stirring constantly until golden and fragrant about 1 minute.
Slowly whisk in milk and bring to boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until thickened and reduced to 4 cups, about 12 minutes. Off heat whisk in 1 cup Romano until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
4. Stir 2 cups bechamel into macaroni until combined. Transfer sauced pasta to a 9x13inch baking dish. Beat eggs in now empty pasta bowl until smooth. Whisk 1 cup bechamel sauce into egg mixture. Slowly whisk tempered egg mixture into remaining bechamel. Stir in yogurt.
5 Spread meat sauce over macaroni and top with egg-bechamel mixture. Sprinkle with remaining romano and bake until golden brown, 35-40 minutes. Let cool for ten minutes, serve.
