This was my first time making pastitsio, and it turned out great! I was a little intimidated by the long list of ingredients, but it was actually pretty easy to make. The hardest part was waiting for it to bake!

I'm a big fan of pastitsio, and this recipe didn't disappoint. The instructions were clear and easy to follow, and the dish turned out perfectly. The only thing I changed was that I used ground turkey instead of beef. It was still delicious!

This pastitsio recipe was fantastic! The flavors were rich and complex, and the textures were perfect. The béchamel sauce was creamy and smooth, the pasta was al dente, and the meat sauce was hearty and flavorful. I especially loved the crispy cheese
